Nearly 400 crashes occurred at the intersections of SR 500 and Northeast Falk Road/Northeast 42nd Avenue and 54th Avenue/Northeast Stapleton Road over a five year span of time. These intersections were the last two remaining signaled intersections along SR 500 between I-5 and I-205. In response, WSDOT conducted a study in spring and summer 2018 to identify cost-effective safety improvements along SR 500 between St. Johns Road and Andresen Road in Vancouver.
In Nov. 2018, with input from the community, agency partners, area schools, businesses and emergency services, WSDOT selected the Right In, Right Out design concept to improve safety along SR 500 in Vancouver and Clark County. Emergency service providers and the public were most supportive of this concept, because it balances significant safety improvements to SR 500, while maintaining some connectivity to the highway from local streets.
In addition to implementing the Right In, Right Out design concept, WSDOT removed the traffic signals on SR 500 and installed median barriers at Northeast Falk Road/Northeast 42nd Avenue and Northeast 54th Avenue/Northeast Stapleton Road intersections. Removing the signalized intersections reduced the potential for crashes and improved safety and mobility along this this stretch of highway.
While the safety improvements worked, and we have seen improved travel times along with a nearly 70% reduction in crashes at or near the two intersections, the removal of the lights also removed access for travelers using sidewalks or bicycles to cross SR 500 at Northeast 54th Avenue/Northeast Stapleton. Now that the second phase of funding is available, we are beginning work to design what a new crossing will look like for people walking, biking or rolling and where along the corridor it will be constructed.
Mejoras en la intersección de SR 500 - NE 42nd y 54th
Novedades del proyecto
- Lo invitamos a completar una encuesta para que nos ayude a recopilar información para determinar el nuevo aspecto del cruce entre la Ruta Estatal 500 y Northeast 54th Avenue/Northeast Stapleton.
Necesidades y beneficios
Hemos iniciado los trabajos para identificar la mejor manera de restaurar la conexión norte/sur en la Ruta Estatal 500 y Northeast 54th Avenue/Northeast Stapleton de manera que las personas puedan atravesar la carretera caminando, en bicicleta o patinando.
Con la meta de mejorar la seguridad y la confiabilidad en el trasporte por la Ruta Estatal 500 en Vancouver, el Departamento de Transporte del Estado de Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, WSDOT) retiró los semáforos en la Ruta Estatal 500 a la altura de Falk Road/Northeast 42nd Avenue y Northeast 54th Avenue/Northeast Stapleton Road en noviembre de 2018. Si bien las mejoras de seguridad fueron efectivas y hemos observado menores tiempos de traslado con casi una reducción del 70 % de los choques entre las dos intersecciones o cerca de ellas, al retirar los semáforos también se ha eliminado el acceso para las personas que cruzan a pie por la aceras o en bicicleta la Ruta Estatal 500 en Northeast 54th Avenue/Northeast Stapleton.
Ahora que se encuentra disponible la segunda etapa de financiamiento, estamos iniciando los trabajos para diseñar el aspecto del nuevo cruce que se pueda transitar de a pie, en bicicleta o patinando y el lugar en el que se construirá el corredor.

SR 500 - NE 42nd и 54th Ave - модернизация перекрестков
Новости о проекте
- Приглашаем вас пройти опрос и помочь нам узнать, каким должен быть новый переход на SR 500 и Northeast 54th Avenue / Northeast Stapleton.
Потребности и преимущества
Мы начинаем работать над по определением наилучшего способа восстановления перехода север/юг в месте пересечения State Route 500 и Northeast 54th Avenue / Northeast Stapleton для пешеходов, велосипедистов и людей на самокатах, пересекающих шоссе.
Чтобы повысить безопасность и пропускную способность шоссе SR 500 в городе Vancouver, Департамент транспорта штата Washington (WSDOT) демонтировал светофоры на SR 500 на перекрестках Northeast Falk Road / Northeast 42nd Avenue и Northeast 54th Avenue / Northeast Stapleton Road в ноябре 2018 г. Это привело к повышению безопасности, сокращению времени проезда и снижению количества ДТП почти на 70 % на двух перекрестках и рядом с ними, однако демонтаж светофоров лишил пешеходов и велосипедистов возможности пересекать SR 500 в районе Northeast 54th Avenue / Northeast Stapleton.
С началом второго этапа финансирования мы приступаем к разработке нового перехода для пешеходов, велосипедистов и людей на самокатах и определению места его сооружения возле транспортного коридора.
