1 Improving Pedestrian Safety at Unsignalized Crossings Shawn Turner, P.E. Texas A&M Transportation Institute
2 Overview of Presentation What are the issues/problems? Framework for crossing treatments Marked crosswalk Enhanced crosswalk Active treatment Red treatment Full traffic signal 2
3 Unsignalized Pedestrian Crossing No motor vehicle traffic signal control on main street Pedestrian crossing may be at intersecting street or mid block Typically a marked crosswalk, but not necessarily More common with larger block size (suburbs) 3
4 4
5 Example 2 5
6 6
7 Problems at Unsignalized Crossings 7
8 Problems at Unsignalized Crossings Confusion about right of way Who yields / stops? Pedestrian must be in crosswalk Difficulty judging acceptable gaps Excessive delay to pedestrians 8
9 Problems 3 High speed arterial streets 2 or more lanes in both directions Mid block transit stops Limited access control Commercial driveways Center two way left turn lane Low pedestrian volumes (does not satisfy traffic signal warrant) 9
10 NCHRP Report 562 / TCRP Report 112 Recommend treatments for high speed, highvolume roadways Recommend modifications to MUTCD pedestrian traffic signal warrant 10
11 FHWA Study on Marked vs. Unmarked Crosswalks Depends on: Traffic volume Traffic speed Road width/median 1. Marked Crosswalk 2. Consider Enhancement to Marking 3. Must Add Enhancement to Marking 11
12 Safety Benefits of Other Treatments Difficult to quantify for each treatment Insufficient crash data for experimental treatments Lead to use of safety surrogates % motorists yielding to pedestrians Motorist behavior (speed reduction) Pedestrian behavior 12
13 What are treatments? Geometric design Traffic calming Static warning signs Continuous flashing beacons Activated beacons 13
14 Median Crossing Island 14
15 Median Crossing Island 15
16 Curb Extension (Mid Block, Transit Stop) 16
17 Curb Extension (Intersection) 17
18 Raised Crosswalks 18
19 Roadway / Lane Narrowing 19
20 Crossing Sign + Markings 20
21 In Street Crossing Signs 21
22 High Visibility Signs / Markings 22
23 High Visibility Signs / Markings 23
24 Advance Yield / Stop Line 24
25 In Roadway Warning Lights 25
26 Overhead Flashing Amber Beacons 26
27 Overhead Flashing Amber Beacons 27
28 Half Signal 28
29 Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon ( HAWK ) 29
30 Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon ( HAWK ) 30
31 Research Question What treatment is most (cost) effective in different street contexts? 31
32 Research Approach Evaluate motorist yielding for different treatments in different street contexts Higher yielding = less delay, more safe Lower yielding = more delay, less safe Using Highway Capacity Manual pedestrian delay thresholds, develop algorithm to determine treatment type 32
33 Presto!! Shazam!! 33
34 Increasing traffic volume Pedestrian Volume/Demand No crosswalk marking Basic or enhanced marking/signing Yellow treatment Traffic Volume Traffic signal per MUTCD Red treatment Increasing Visibility and/or Traffic Control Increasing pedestrian volume/ demand 34
35 2 Lanes, <55 km/h Traffic Signal (Proposed MUTCD Warrant) Enhanced/ Active (E/A) Marked Crosswalk E/A High, Red Low Red 35
36 6 Lanes, >55 km/h Traffic Signal (Proposed MUTCD Warrant) E/A High, Red Low Enhanced/ Active (E/A) Red NO Marked Crosswalk Only 36
37 Questions or Comments? Shawn Turner, P.E. shawn
