MAP: Traffic crashes in Yellow Springs
- Published: November 20, 2019
Traffic safety and congestion are on the minds of villagers as a three-week temporary transportation project in downtown Yellow Springs came to an end last week.
Over the next few weeks, the News will be taking a closer look at the rationale behind the recent traffic trial and the strategies outlined in the Village’s Active Transportation Plan. Read last week’s article, “Origins of the traffic trial” and pick up the Nov. 21 issue of the News for “YS Schools welcome traffic experiment” The Active Transportation plan is available here.
Village leaders are also now collecting feedback on the temporary transportation project. Their online survey ends Nov. 23.
Using data obtained from the Ohio Department of Transportation, the News created an interactive map showing where most vehicle accidents occur in and around the village (link is below).

On Xenia Ave. Turning left on Corry Street passing post office is very dangerous. I believe a left turn signal could help. Just a suggestion
