| 摘要： | It is known that medians are an effective method of increasing vehicular safety and capacity on urban and suburban arterials. Medians can provide an additional lane for through traffic by removing left-turning vehicles from the traffic stream. Medians are also considered to be beneficial to pedestrian safety and operations, but their actual effects are unknown. The partial results of a study sponsored by FHWA are presented. A literature search and a state-of-the-practice survey regarding the effectiveness of alternative median designs and the availability of warrants, guidelines, and criteria for median installations in counties, cities, and states are summarized. The impact of median design on pedestrian safety is emphasized. The results are applicable to urban and suburban locations. |
