Urban Intersection Improvements for Pedestrian Safety
Vol. I. Executive Summary
Source: Federal Highway Administration
The study was divided into three phases:
Phase I was reported in Volume II, Identification of Safety and Operational Problems and was directed at identifying and defining the safety and operational problems associated with the interaction of pedestrians and vehicles at intersections.
Phase II was divided into two tasks. Task A conducted research dealing with signal timing for the pedestrian. Task B was directed towards pedestrian signal display and operation research.
Phase III reported in Volume V, Evaluation of Alternatives to Full Signalization at Pedestrian Crossings, was to develop traffic control deveices that could be used as alternatives to full signalization at pedestrian crossing that are located at intersections. These traffic control devices were evaluated at the intersection of an arterial street with a low-volum residential street where adequate gaps in the traffic stream do not exist to allow pedestrians to cross the arterial street safely. The study was divided into two parts: identification of alternative pedestrian crossing desings, and field evaluation.
The Volumes in this series include:
Volume II - Identification of Safety and Operational Problems at Intersections
Volume III - Signal Timing for the Pedestrian
Volume IV - Pedestrian Signal Displays and Operation
Volume V - Evaluation of Alternatives to Full Signalization at Pedestrian Crossings
