Download or read book Safety Effects of Marked Versus Unmarked Crosswalks at Uncontrolled Locations written by Charles V. Zegeer and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedestrians are legitimate users of the transportation system, and they should, therefore, be able to use this system safely. Pedestrian needs in crossing streets should be identified, and appropriate solutions should be selected to improve pedestrian safety and access. Deciding where to mark crosswalks is only one consideration in meeting that objective. The purpose of this study was to determine whether marked crosswalks at uncontrolled locations are safer than unmarked crosswalks under various traffic and roadway conditions. Another objective was to provide recommendations on how to provide safer crossings for pedestrians. This study involved an analysis of 5 years of pedestrian crashes at 1,000 marked crosswalks and 1,000 matched unmarked comparison sites. All sites in this study had no traffic signal or stop sign on the approaches. Detailed data were collected on traffic volume, pedestrian exposure, number of lanes, median type, speed limit, and other site variables. Poisson and negative binomial regressive models were used.

This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designers and traffic engineers have to make decisions on selecting a pedestrian treatment whenever designing a new pedestrian facility or retrofitting an existing one. The goal is either to provide or improve pedestrian safety at pedestrian crossing facilities, including controlled locations of signalized intersections and approaches with stop and yield signs, and uncontrolled locations of intersections and midblock sites. Currently, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has limited resources on pedestrian treatment selection that does not take into consideration key elements such as number of lanes and the existence of a raised median. Therefore, there is a need to find a more detailed and comprehensive approach to providing guidelines when deciding on a pedestrian crossing treatment. The approach has to be practical and can be easily utilized by traffic and design engineers, planners, and other constituents.Most of the State DOTs developed their guidelines on pedestrian crossing treatment based on several resources. However, the 2002 FHWA-RD-01-075 study titled "Safety Effects of Marked Vs. Unmarked Crosswalks at Uncontrolled Locations" was adopted by several states either "as is," with some modifications, or referenced as a source on pedestrian crosswalk selection. State DOTs mainly use standards and guidelines from the National MUTCD, Part 3 and NCHRP Report 672 for roundabout crosswalk markings. In general, there are no clear warrants for grade separation treatment. In addition, there is a need for a national and comprehensive study to develop practical guidelines on pedestrian crossing treatments, especially on multilane roadways, complex intersections, and when the speed is 45 mph or more.This study proposed guidelines on crosswalk markings and treatment selection of pedestrian crossings based on a synthesis of federal and state reports, guidelines, design manuals, polices, and other relevant publications. It is recommended to adopt these guidelines as a reference for pedestrian treatment selection at INDOT.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is intended to provide information on how to identify safety and mobility needs for pedestrians with the roadway right-of-way. Useful for engineers, planners, safety professionals and decision-makers, the guide covers such topics as: the Walking Environment including sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, roadway lighting and pedestrian over and under passes; Roadway Design including bicycle lanes, roadway narrowing, reducing the number of lanes, one-way/two-way streets, right-turn slip lanes and raised medians; Intersections with roundabouts, T-intersections and median barriers; and Traffic calming designs.

Book Synopsis Quantifying the Effect of Pedestrian Control Devices on Pedestrian Safety by : Carolina Baumanis
Download or read book Quantifying the Effect of Pedestrian Control Devices on Pedestrian Safety written by Carolina Baumanis and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many interventions that can reduce pedestrian crashes, including clarifying the indications transmitted to the travelers in the traffic network via the built environment. By design, the built environment aims to make who has the right-of-way very clear by presenting expected, easy-to-interpret indications. Some environments are much clearer than others, for example a marked crosswalk versus an unmarked crosswalk and can influence yielding behavior and fatal crash probability. This thesis presents the findings on driver yielding toward pedestrians at various crossing treatments and on fatal pedestrian crash incidents in the city of Austin, Texas. Considering both types of data, this thesis aims to achieve a well-rounded quantification of the effect pedestrian control devices have on overall pedestrian safety. From the result of the first component of the investigation, the effect of a flexpost island is not significantly different from the effect of a marked crosswalk on driver yielding propensity. Significant differences were observed between yielding at concrete refuge islands and every other pairwise comparison to flexpost islands, marked crosswalks, and unmarked crosswalks. From the second component, interaction seems to exist between treatment and both sidewalk presence and bus stop presence. The difference in fatality crashes at locations with and without pedestrian crossing treatments is less when there is no sidewalk present. Additionally, the difference between treatment presence on pedestrian fatality percentage is less when there is a bus stop more than 358 ft away.

Book Synopsis Safety and Guidelines for Marked and Unmarked Pedestrian Crosswalks at Unsignalized Intersections in Nevada by : Yue Zhao
Download or read book Safety and Guidelines for Marked and Unmarked Pedestrian Crosswalks at Unsignalized Intersections in Nevada written by Yue Zhao and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines two aspects of marked and unmarked crosswalks at unsignalized intersections. Firstly, the report assesses the safety performance of marked/unmarked crosswalks in Nevada through comparing pedestrian-related crash rates. In which, a linear regression model is established to estimate pedestrian daily volume. Consistent with previous research, it is found that marked crosswalks do involve higher pedestrian-related crash rates in Nevada. In addition, the report proposes a set of guidelines for marking crosswalks at unsignalized intersections through a comprehensive process. It summarizes existing guidelines including the MUTCD guideline, FHWA guideline and etc. in the literature review. The report further points out that one of the major issues lies in the lack of comprehensive consideration and interpretation of potential factors. Considering safety and mobility effects, it suggests the contribution of each factor to the decision making not only depends on its own value but also the association with other factors. Hence, the report summarizes key impact factors and applies revised multi-criteria analysis methods to develop a Mark/Unmark Choice Tool embedded in the guideline. At last, the proposed guideline is applied in a case study involving field data in Nevada to demonstrate its practicability and feasibility.
