Project Yield

Projectyieldnovember23 4

On average, 20 pedestrians are struck by cars every year in University Circle.

Project Yield is a community-driven pedestrian safety initiative that includes enhanced data collection, increased public awareness, and infrastructure improvements. Using a data-driven approach, UCI has identified safety hot spots most in need of enhancements to protect pedestrians and drivers and to ensure that everyone in the neighborhood is able to reach their destination safely. Be on the lookout for new signage that encourages safe speeds, digital safety messaging, traffic calming, and better traffic light signalization—all in the interest of public safety.

UCI works with partners throughout the neighborhood to improve pedestrian safety including the City of Cleveland. UCI supports the City of Cleveland’s Vision Zero goal to eliminate serious injury and fatal crashes in Cleveland. Vision Zero began in Sweden, which has one of the lowest traffic fatality rates in the world.

UCI’s work helps ensure that our roads permit safe travel for all.
