摘要: |
The purpose of this study was to determine whether marked crosswalks at uncontrolled locations (i.e., locations with no traffic signal or stop sign on the approach) are safer than unmarked crosswalks. Another objective was to present recommendations on how to provide safer crossings for pedestrians. This includes providing assistance to engineers and planners when making decisions on: 1) where crosswalks may be installed if they do not currently exist; 2) where an existing crosswalk is acceptable, by itself; 3) where an existing crosswalk should be supplemented with additional improvements; 4) where one or more other engineering treatments (e.g., raised median, traffic signal with pedestrian signal) should be considered instead of having only a marked crosswalk; and 5) where marked crosswalks are not appropriate. |
