Arlington will start installing small raised bumps called hardened centerlines along the yellow centerline at five local intersections. These are designed to make intersections safer for pedestrians by encouraging drivers to make wider, safer and more predictable left turns at slower speeds, without reducing traffic capacity. Another goal is to increase the visibility of pedestrians in crosswalks.
