004 This I'DGO design guidance relates to pedestrian crossings. It is part of The Design of Streets with Older People in Mind; a toolkit for those who plan, design and maintain the public realm. It can be used as an aid to assessing the walkability of local safety and comfort. Based on the views of over 1,600
UK guidance, it includes advice on providing
importance of raising awareness among pedestrians as to how crossings work and why.I'DGO design guides are based on evidence from the Inclusive (I'DGO) research project. They have been cited by the World Health importance in planning, designing and maintaining Age-Friendly for Transport. The research was undertaken by the SURFACEInclusive Design Research Centre at
the University of Salford. Details of are provided within, withDSOPM004

Formal pedestrian road crossings
There are various types of formal pedestrian road crossing in the UK: in the UK, they do give pedestrians permanent right of way. When used delay for both pedestrians and motorists. Level access, either by dropped kerb or raised road crossing, must be provided. The remaining types of formal road crossing in the UK are signalised. The Department for Transport recommends ( inLTN 1/95
) that signalised crossings are used "where there is normally a greater than is fast, heavy etc. In each case, level access, either by dropped kerb or raised road crossing, must be provided. The most common types of signalised pedestrian crossing are: when the green man is lit. and the red and green men are displayed on the nearside of the crossing. (DfT, CSS, 2006).Toucan.

In general, UK guidance recommends that crossings are 'at grade', that is, at road level,
is recommended that " footbridges and subways should be avoided unless local topography or raise concerns over personal security - if they are unavoidable, designers should aim to make them as short asInformal pedestrian road crossings
are measures put in place to make this easier. They are created using paving materialsTypical informal crossing features include:
Pedestrian refuges - or 'islands' - which provide an area to stand in provides detailed guidance on their design, recommending, for example, Kerb build outs which extend the footway (pavement) out into the carriageway. with the crossing raised to the height of the kerb. dropped kerbs "should, where possible, be provided every 100 metres to avoid the need for wheelchair users to make lengthy detours to cross the given to 'pedestrian desire lines' (where people want to cross) and 'inter- visibility' (where drivers and pedestrians can best see each other). NB dropped kerbs must be provided at all formal crossings.DSOPM004

In interviews with 200 older people (see Methodology 2), for more than one type so, while most of the people we spoke to (90%) preferred a signalised formal crossing, approximately half would also use a Zebra crossing. Again, around 50% considered informal crossings cars had knocked into poles and bollards etc. and the islands were not considered wide enoughDSOPM004
