How Pittsburgh rebuilt the collapsed Fern Hollow Bridge to support pedestrians and bicyclists
Read success storyAfter a bridge collapsed, the City of Pittsburgh wanted to rebuild a safer, more efficient traffic corridor that protected pedestrians, bicyclists as well as motorists. The city had to redesign the bridge and surrounding traffic systems while constructing the bridge on an extremely short timeline.
The city used StreetLight’s historical traffic data to better understand traffic issues that existed before the bridge’s collapse and to model the impacts of proposed operational changes once the bridge reopened. The team performed complex analyses and identified where traffic on surrounding corridors was causing backups and crashes.
Less than a year after Fern Hollow collapsed, PennDOT opened the new bridge with improved road safety solutions, including protected bike lanes, simplified intersections, and additional traffic calming measures.

StreetLight Safety Indicators: At a glance
Get started
Identify locations with large variations in vehicle speeds, an indicator of elevated safety risk caused by mixes of faster and slower vehicles.
Analyze hard braking and acceleration patterns to uncover locations where drivers frequently react to potential conflicts or hazards.
Filter safety events by severity, turning movement, and speed to investigate specific risks such as intersection conflicts, extreme speeding, or dangerous maneuvers.
Explore speeding patterns and driver behavior through an intuitive dashboard designed for quick safety analysis across your network to ensure a safer environment.
Integrate your digitized crash data to illuminate hotspot areas across your network.
Get foundational speed metrics aligned to your Linear Referencing System (LRS) to measure travel on your road network.

StreetLight’s Safety Solutions offer purpose-built data analytics for transportation professionals and firm partners focused on improving roadway safety outcomes. Because these solutions cater specifically to safety improvement projects, they help transportation professionals get the data they need to diagnose dangerous roadway conditions quickly, pinpoint safety hotspots, highlight where vulnerable road users face the greatest risk of severe crashes, and illuminate which safety interventions may be the most beneficial for a given location.
Vehicle speeds, vehicle volumes, and bike and pedestrian activity are among the core metrics used for road safety analyses. This is because vehicle speeds are so impactful to the likelihood and severity of crashes, whereas vehicle, bike, and pedestrian volumes help determine where and when crashes are most likely to occur, and where and when vulnerable road users (i.e., non-motorists, including cyclists and pedestrians) face the greatest exposure on a given roadway. These same metrics can also help predict the impact of potential safety improvements like road diets, speed limit reductions, or bike and pedestrian infrastructure.
If you want to bring in your crash data into our Safety Indicators dashboard, you will need to provide digitized crash data. Based on the data you provide, it can also be overlaid with layers, including hard braking & acceleration events and speed differentials.
Most of StreetLight’s suite of safety solutions includes options that don’t require your crash data. Talk to a sales representative or your customer reps to learn more.
Street Scanner shows where vehicles are going 10+ mph over the posted limit and how many (the percentage of vehicles speeding), so you’re not guessing based on complaints.
In addition to vehicle, bike, pedestrian, and truck volume and speed data, we also provide behavior-based insights on speeding and driver activity to inform planning, strengthen funding applications, and track progress toward safety goals.
