| 摘要： | The Virginia Capital Trail is a bicycle and pedestrian trail that connects Virginias past and present capitals of Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Richmond along the scenic Route 5 highway corridor. The trail crosses Route 5, a two-lane roadway with a 55 mph speed limit, between Route 613 and the Chickahominy Riverfront Park in James City County. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) installed a Cross Alert system by Cross Alert Systems, Inc., at the crossing to provide a warning to motorists of the presence of pedestrians and bicyclists. VDOT also installed a number of other safety enhancements on each approach to the crossing. Given the expense of the system, VDOT was concerned about its cost-effectiveness and asked the Virginia Transportation Research Council to conduct an evaluation of the existing crossing, including its effectiveness and the safety of bikers and pedestrians who use the crossing. The evaluation consisted of analyzing motorists and biker/pedestrian actions when the beacons of the Cross Alert system were flashing and not flashing. / Title Note: Final research rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Virginia Dept. of Transportation, Richmond. and Federal Highway Administration, Richmond, VA.
