The countermeasures are grouped into the three major areas of engineering countermeasure, education countermeasures, and enforcement countermeasures. The "enforcement" category includes enforcement of existing laws, suggested model ordinances designed to improve pedestrian safety when enacted on the state or local level, and various programs intended to increase the safety of children.
Within these groups, each countermeasure is discussed in terms of its advantages and disadvantages, implenetation considerations, and the conditions when the countermeausre would be most beneficial.
