Neighborhood Roadway Collision Risks in Fort Wayne
S Calhoun St runs through both residential and commercial areas, carrying a steady flow of local traffic. Collisions along this corridor often result from driver inattention, speeding, or failure to yield at intersections. In mixed-use neighborhoods like Fairfield Terrace/Belmont, the presence of pedestrians, cyclists, and parked cars can further complicate traffic flow and increase crash risk.
City crash data shows that injury collisions in these areas frequently involve side-impact or rear-end crashes, which can be particularly dangerous in lower-speed zones due to limited occupant protection in certain impact angles.
Safety advocates recommend drivers maintain slower speeds, remain alert for vulnerable road users, and avoid distractions such as mobile devices. Improvements such as enhanced crosswalk visibility, better signage, and traffic calming measures could also help reduce crashes in these neighborhoods.
