Crash Types Webinar Series: Multiple Threat Crash
Aug 09, 2018
At uncontrolled crossing locations on roads with multiple lanes, pedestrians may be at risk of a "multiple threat crash." This crash occurs when one vehicle yields to a crossing pedestrian, while the vehicle in another lane continues through the crosswalk, potentially setting up a severe collision. Panelists will share what we know about this crash problem in terms of its prevalence and contributing factors. Solutions and strategies to prevent the problem, ranging from roadway design and policy solutions to behavioral interventions, will be discussed.
