Solon traffic and where crashes happen
US 422 runs along Solon's north side as a limited-access highway linking Cleveland's east side with Geauga County, and the interchanges at Route 91 and Harper Road back up with office traffic from the city's large corporate campuses. Route 91, SOM Center Road, is the busy north-south arterial through the center of Solon, and Route 43, Aurora Road, crosses it near the retail district, producing rear-end and left-turn crashes at the signals. I-480 ends nearby and feeds traffic onto US 422. Solon sits at the edge of the Lake Erie snowbelt, so lake-effect squalls, ice on the US 422 bridges and slush-narrowed lanes define winter. Deliveries to the industrial parks add truck traffic.
