How should pedestrian crossings be designed?

    Pedestrian crossings should be at 90 degrees across the turn lane and be placed where the motorist can easily see the pedestrian crossing ahead; 2. Pedestrians and motorists must be able to easily see each other; and 3. The design should encourage low vehicle turning speeds (Potts et al., 2011).

What are the design principles for pedestrian access at channelized lanes?

    Design Principles for Pedestrian Access at Channelized Turn Lanes 55 crossing. AASHTO recommends that pedestrian crossings should be placed at a 90-degree angle across the CTL and located so that pedestrians and drivers can see one another (AASHTO, 2004). Crossings at a 90-degree angle also minimize the crossing distance and thus reduce exposure.

How do I create a bespoke pedestrian crossing layout?

    Creating a bespoke pedestrian crossing layout is easy using the individual pedestrian crossing toolset to add items like tactiles, zigzags, vertical bollards or the crossing itself. Alternatively, a full intelligent crossing system may be added to the drawing and all aspects are taken care of in one system.

SAFE TRANSPORTATION

Raised Crosswalk FOR EVERY PEDESTRIAN

COUNTERMEASURE TECH SHEET

R1-6a -11-2, 1-7P Raised crosswalks are ramped speed tables spanning the entire width of the roadway, often placed at midblock crossing locations. The crosswalk is demarcated with paint and/or special paving materials. These crosswalks act as traffic-calming measures that allow the pedestrian to cross at grade with the sidewalk. In addition to their use on local and collector streets, raised crosswalks can be installed in campus settings, shopping centers, and pick-up/drop-off zones (e.g., airports, schools, transit centers). Raised crosswalks are flush with the height of the sidewalk. The crosswalk table is typically at least 10 feet wide and designed to allow the front and rear wheels of a passenger vehicle to be on top of the table at the same time. Detectable warnings (truncated domes) and curb ramps are installed at the street edge for pedestrians with

impaired vision. Local and collector roads with high speeds pose a significant challenge for pedestrians crossing the roadway.

A raised crosswalk

can reduce vehicle speeds and enhance the pedestrian crossing environment.

FEATURES:

• Elevated crossing makes the pedestrian more prominent in the driver's field of vision, and allows pedestrians to cross at grade with the sidewalk • Approach ramps may reduce vehicle speeds and improve motorist yielding

Raised Crosswalk

CONSIDERATIONS

Raised crosswalks are typically installed on

2-lane or 3-lane roads with speed limits of

30 mph or less and annual average daily

traffic (AADT) below about 9,000. Raised crossings should generally be avoided on truck routes, emergency routes, and arterial streets.

Drainage can be an issue. Raised

crosswalks may be installed with curb extensions where parking exists. They may also be used at intersections, particularly at

the entrance of the minor street. Since this countermeasure can cause discomfort and noise (especially with larger vehicles), it may be appropriate to get public buy-in. Raised crosswalks may not be appropriate for bus transit routes or primary emergency vehicle routes. For States that experience regular snowfall, snowplowing can be a concern.

COST

The cost associated with a raised crosswalk

ranges from $7,110 to $30,880 each, with the average cost estimated at $8,170.
