Safest Placement for Crosswalks at Intersections
项目名称: Safest Placement for Crosswalks at Intersections
摘要: This research should identify the relation, if any, between pedestrian safety and the lateral offset of crosswalks and document those findings in a clear manner. The influence of other factors such as traffic control (signalized and unsignalized), markings, intersection skew, curb radius, and sight distance may need to be addressed as well. If either corner or set-back crosswalks are shown to have a safety advantage over the other, that finding will have a significant influence on Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOT’s) decisions around this topic. The knowledge gained from this research has the potential to improve pedestrian safety all across the state as ODOT prepares to address over 25,000 non-compliant curb ramps on the state highway system over the next 13 years.
