Title: Improving Pedestrian Safety at Unsignalized Crossings
Abstract: This report will be of interest to state, county, and city traffic engineers; transit agencies; roadway designers; and urban planners, as well as consultants for these groups and agencies. This material provides considerable information and useful guidance for improving pedestrian safety at unsignalized crossings. The report presents the edited final report and Appendix A, Guidelines for Pedestrian Crossing Treatments. Appendixes B through O of the contractor's final report are contained in TCRP Web-Only Document 30/NCHRP Web-Only Document 91, available on the CRP website. The objectives of the research were to (1) recommend selected engineering treatments to improve safety for pedestrians crossing high-volume and high-speed roadways at unsignalized locations, in particular those locations served by public transportation, and (2) recommend modifications to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) pedestrian traffic signal warrant.
