Features of a safer intersection include:

• Minimizing and modifying conflict points to reduce crash risk.
• Reducing vehicle speeds through design elements like raised safety platforms and traffic calming.
• Improving visibility at intersections through lighting and sightline management.
• Providing space and protection for pedestrians and bicyclists, such as median refuges, curb extensions, and well-marked crosswalks.
• Controlling turning movements, especially right turns, to reduce complex driver decisions.
• Using roundabouts to lower conflict points and force vehicle speed reduction.
• Tight curb radii to shorten pedestrian crossing distances and slow turns.
• Good traffic control via signals, signs, or roundabouts to clearly define right of way.
• Designing intersections compactly to reduce pedestrian exposure and slow traffic near crossings.
• Ensuring accessible pedestrian facilities like curb ramps and pedestrian signals.

These features collectively aim to create a safer environment for all users by anticipating human errors and reducing the severity or likelihood of crashes.
