Street Simplified, LLC, completed a full analysis of these intersections, looking at turning movements, speed analytics, crosswalk usage and analysis, cyclist turning movements, near miss analysis, speeding analysis, red light running, and intersection blocking. DiExSys, LLC, then utilized that information, along with data they collected and analyzed across the City's other intersections and certain high -traffic corridors to create the Pueblo Area Comprehensive Safety Study Action Plan.
