2026 Road Safety Assessments
We need your input! As part of our Vision Zero initiative, the Bellevue Transportation Department is evaluating the safety of walking, rolling and biking along High Injury Network (HIN) streets, where most of the city’s fatal and serious-injury collisions occur. These Road Safety Assessments (RSAs), which are being conducted along HIN streets within Bellevue, will document current roadway conditions based on the experiences and observations of those who travel the streets. The feedback will be used to improve safety and comfort for people who walk, use a wheelchair and bike on these roadways. Last year, we reviewed two study areas and this year, we will evaluate the three locations listed below and highlighted on the maps of study areas through various engagement opportunities, including community walk audits.
RSA Study Area 3NE 8th Street between 116th Avenue NE and 140th Avenue NE; and 116th Avenue NE between Main Street and NE 12th Street


RSA Study Area 4
NE 12th Street between 120th Avenue NE and 140th Avenue NE; and 120th Avenue NE between NE 4th Street and NE 12th Street

RSA Study Area 5
Northup Way/NE 20th Street between 124th Avenue NE and 140th Avenue NE; 140th Avenue NE between SR-520 and Bel-Red Road and 148th Avenue NE between SR-520 and NE 20th Street

Questionnaire and interactive map
The purpose of this online engagement site is to better understand your feelings about safety and comfort along these streets as a person walking, rolling or biking along them. The questionnaire will also ask you voluntary demographic questions.
We ask to you complete two tasks. The first is to complete a series of questions by selecting the Questionnaire tab below. You must click the “submit” button at the end of the questionnaire to record your responses. In the second task, we ask you to “pin” your concerns at specific locations by selecting the Interactive Map tab below. Completing both will take approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
The “Ask a Question” tab allows you to ask us about the process; answers will be posted on this site.
The use of RSAs is a key strategy in Bellevue's Vision Zero effort to eliminate traffic deaths and serious-injury collisions on city streets by 2030 and appreciate your valuable input.
