Benefits include:
- Improves safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists by reducing conflict points.
- Improves safety for crossing pedestrians and bicyclists by providing median refuge areas.
- Reduces vehicle speeds with visual cues from additional median trees, high curbs, shrubs and flowers.

Trade-offs include:
- Increased traffic on full access streets.
- Longer routes for destinations on local streets where median is closed (depending on direction of travel).
