1 ODOT Pedestrian and Bicycle Program Sheila Lyons, PE ADA Design and Regulations
2 ADA: It s the Law!
3 Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act Act of Congress (1973) Implemented May 1977 Applies to activities receiving Federal financial assistance.
4 Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Act of Congress 1968 Requires facilities designed, built, altered or leased with Federal funds be accessible to the disabled.
5 Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 United States Public Laws 101 st Congress 2 nd Session Public Law (S. 933); 101 Enacted S P.L. 336; 104 Stat. 327; 1990 Enacted S 933; 101 Enacted S 933
6 ADA Act of 1990 Title I - Employment Title II Public Services Title III Public Accommodations and Services Operated by Private Entities Title IV - Telecommunications Title V - Miscellaneous
7 ADA Title III of ADA creates a private right of action against individuals who own, lease or operate places of public accommodation, and who fail to comply with ADA s accommodation requirements (42 U.S.C ).
8 ADA on Tribal Lands Title III of ADA, which requires places of public accommodation to be accessible to persons with disabilities, does not exclude tribes. Eleventh Circuit ruled, however, that it cannot be enforced by private persons against Indian tribes in non-indian forums because Congress did not expressly waive tribal immunity from suit. Florida Paraplegic Asso., Inc. v. Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, 166 F.3d 1126 (11th Cir. 1999
9 ADA on Tribal Lands Court did note that while sovereign immunity barred private suits under Title III, U.S. Attorney General could nonetheless compel tribe's compliance with statute.
10 19 The Transformation to Tribal Self- Governance in the Transportation Arena: A Progress Through Legislative Milestones James Glaze and Nathaniel Amdur-Clark In 1975, the Indian Self-Determination and Educational Assistance Act transferred to tribal governments the funding and authority to manage federal Indian programs. The authors trace the effects on Indian Country of successive authorizing legislation and other policies for transportation programs and the urgent need to meet the transportation, maintenance, transit, and traffic safety needs of tribal communities.
11 What does this mean? For non-tribal roads that pass thru (over?) tribal lands? For roads under tribal ownership?
12 Implementation by DOJ New Construction and Alterations (e) All newly constructed or altered streets, roads, and highways must contain curb ramps at any intersection having curbs or other barriers to entry from a street level pedestrian walkway, and that all newly constructed or altered street level pedestrian walkways must have curb ramps at intersections to streets, roads, or highways.
13 Where do you find the Standards? US ACCESS BOARD
14 Access Board Guidelines The US Access Board develops and updates design guidelines used by the DOJ and DOT in setting enforceable standards the public must follow. Determining which guidelines apply is the rub.
15 Regulations and Guidelines Buildings and Building Sites (including Parking Lots) ADAAG Americans with Disabilities Accessibility Guidelines Streets and Multi-use Paths PROWAG Public Rights of Way Accessibility Guidelines ( Parks and Recreation Recreation Facilities and Outdoor Developed Areas Public Transportation Buses, Trains, Stations, Boats, etc. Transportation
16 PROWAG Adoption Process Draft Guidelines are developed by the US Access Board Public comment on the draft guidelines are solicited Final Guidelines are published and a notice of final rulemaking is announced The Board s guidelines become enforceable when they are adopted by Department of Justice (DOJ) Department of Transportation (DOT).
17 PROWAG Adoption Process Draft Guidelines proposed guidelines PROWAAC (Public Rights of Way Accessibility Advisory Committee) 1999 PROWAG 2002 to supplement ADAAG PROWAG 2005 stand-alone document FHWA Memorandum January 23, 2006 the Draft Guidelines are the currently recommended best practices, and can be considered the state of the practice that could be followed for areas not fully addressed by the present ADAAG standards
18 Court Rulings providing, constructing, and maintaining a system of sidewalks is a government service covered by title II requirement for curb ramps would be meaningless if the sidewalks between the curb ramps were inaccessible Street resurfacing work must include curb ramp improvements to meet current standards
19 State Laws and Policies ORS Construction of sidewalks within highway right of way (1953) Construction of sidewalks within highway right of way. The Department of Transportation may construct and maintain within the right of way of any state highway or section thereof sidewalks, footpaths, bicycle paths or trails for horseback riding or to facilitate the driving of livestock. Before the construction of any of such facilities the department must find and declare that the construction thereof is necessary in the public interest and will contribute to the safety of pedestrians, the motoring public or persons using the highway. Such facilities shall be constructed to permit reasonable ingress and egress to abutting property lawfully entitled to such rights.
20 Resurfacing DOJ/FHWA Memorandum August 9, 2013 Alterations that trigger ADA (regardless of funding source federal, state, local, private) Resurfacing triggers ADA if: The work goes from one intersection to the next It spans the street ( curb to curb) Examples include: Overlays Thin lift overlays Reconstruction Concrete rehabilitation/reconstruction Open-graded surfacing Micro-surfacing Cape Seals In-place asphalt recycling Resurfacing a crosswalk Widening
21 Resurfacing DOJ/FHWA Memorandum August 9, 2013 Activities that DO NOT trigger ADA Painting Striping Crack filling and sealing Surface sealing Chip seals Slurry seals Fog seals Scrub sealing Joint repairs/sealing Dowel bar retrofit Spot high friction treatments Diamond grinding no overlay Pavement spot patching
22 PROWAG There are multiple parts: Chapter 1 Application and Administration Chapter 2 Scoping Requirements Chapter 3 Technical Requirements Chapter 4 Supplementary Technical Requirements
23 Scoping Requirements PROWAG Chapter 2 The Scoping Requirements specify what pedestrian facilities must comply with the which guideline.
24 Scoping Requirements PROWAG Chapter 2 The ADA is triggered when a facility is provided It applies to New Construction and Alterations
25 PROWAG Chapter 2 - Alterations Alterations are changes that affect or could affect pedestrian access, circulation or use. Resurfacing* Rehabilitation Reconstruction Historic Restoration Structural rearrangement
26 PROWAG Chapter 2 - Alterations Upgrades are required to the extent that the project in question ALTERS an ADA element. Examples: Signal mast arm/signal Pole Base Sidewalk Bench
27 PROWAG Chapter 2 - Alterations Maximum Extent Feasible MEANS Comply with the ADA Guidelines to the maximum extent possible, given the physical constraints
28 PROWAG Chapter 2 - Alterations Extent Practicable Limitations may include: Terrain Right-of-way limitations Underground Structures Adjacent development Drainage Notable Historic or Natural Features Cost is not an out
29 ADAAG, ABA and 504 Regulations Path of Travel The Path of Travel to a Primary Function area must be accessible. The Path of Travel must be upgraded at the time the Primary Function is upgraded, unless the cost exceeds 20% of the cost of the Primary Function area s remodel costs.
30 ADAAG, ABA and 504 Regulations Path of Travel Primary Function = the use for which the facility was intended. Sidewalks, curb ramps, on-street parking, etc. may be part of the Path of Travel to a Primary Function Area. Makes your eyebrows twitch doesn t it?
31
32 Sidewalks
33 PROWAG There are multiple parts: Chapter 1 Application and Administration Chapter 2 Scoping Requirements Chapter 3 Technical Requirements Chapter 4 Supplementary Technical Requirements
34 Alterations to: PROWAG Sidewalks, Curb Ramps, Crosswalks, On-Street Parking, Parking Meters and Pay Stations, Passenger Loading Zones, Ped Signals, Ped Signal Push Buttons, Transit Stops and Shelters, Street Furniture, Public Toilets Must be brought up to current (ADAAG, ABA and PROWAG) Standards, to the extent practicable.
35 What are the characteristics of good sidewalk design? 1. Proper width 2. Clear of obstacles 3. Smooth surfaces 4. Separation from traffic 5. They lead you to the right place
36 Sidewalk Corridor - The Zone System Sidewalk corridor extends from the edge of roadway to the edge of right-of-way: Curb zone Furniture zone Pedestrian zone Frontage zone
37 The Zone System - Summary Street Parking Furniture Zone Pedestrian Zone
38 The Zone System - Summary Street Parking Furniture Zone Pedestrian Zone
39 Pedestrian Access Route 4 x 4 x 7 clear passage Running Slope: same as roadway OR Max 5% if not within a street Cross Slope: 2% Max Provide Passing Spaces every 200 if PAR is below 5
40 Pedestrian Access Route Surface: Firm, Stable, Slip Resistant Vertical: 0.5 Max, beveled if between Horizontal Openings Round: Max 0.5 Elongated: Width = Max 0.5 and oriented perpendicular to the path of travel
41 Pedestrian Access Route Protruding Objects No more than 4 Between 2.25 and 6.7 above the sidewalk grade May not reduce the PAR below 4
42 Design, build & maintain good sidewalks & you ve fulfilled most ADA requirements Preferred type: separated with buffer (planter) strip
43 Design, build & maintain good sidewalks & you ve fulfilled most ADA requirements Wide enough & clear of obstructions
44 ADA is NOT an acceptable S/W width!
45 Does this sidewalk have all the zones?
46 The Furniture Zone is ESSENTIAL
47 If you were blind could you navigate this sidewalk?
48 Or this one?
49 Transit Stops Ped Access Route to the stop Boarding Area = 8 x 5 Shelter must have space for a wheelchair
50 On-Street Parking See Section R214 for number of spaces required Corner ramps serves corner parking spaces Mid-block spaces require access alley and curb ramp WITHOUT domes
51
52 Crossing the Street
53 Crossing the street is no problem just run like heck Depoe Bay OR
54 Other plan
55 Crosswalks Defined ORS
56 Crosswalks Defined T Intersection
57 Why are crosswalks provided? 1. To indicate to pedestrians where to cross 2. To indicate to drivers where to expect pedestrians
58 Crosswalk Markings
59 Crosswalk Marking Types
60 Crosswalk Visibility
61 Crosswalk Visibility
62 What the pedestrian sees
63 What the driver sees
64 Staggered continental marking More visible from a distance
65 Less wear and tear
66 Or?
67 Textured crosswalks: Theory more visible. Reality?
68 What the pedestrian sees
69 What the driver sees
70 Textured brick complemented with stripes
71 Brick crosswalks are prone to failure
72 Textured crosswalks are hard on wheelchair users, unless great care is used in construction
73 Locating Crosswalks
74 Pedestrian-vehicular conflicts at 4-way intersection Conflict points: 8 crossing 16 turning
75 Assumption is that we should cross at locations with positive control Depoe Bay OR
76 But in reality, we can t provide signals everywhere people want to cross Depoe Bay OR
77 General Principles 1. Recognize pedestrians want & need to cross the street safely 2. Pedestrians will cross where it s most convenient 3. Drivers need to understand pedestrians intent 4. Minimize crossing distance 5. Simplify crossing 6. Speed matters Good design makes use of these principles
78 General Principles 1. Recognize pedestrians want & need to cross the street safely 2. Pedestrians will cross where it s most convenient 3. Drivers need to understand pedestrians intent 4. Minimize crossing distance 5. Simplify crossing 6. Speed matters Good design makes use of these principles
79 Some places you cannot tell where people will cross Albuquerque NM
80 Clatskanie OR Many locations are not suitable for a marked crosswalk
81 Creating Good Crossings
82 Corvallis OR In many instances we must create a good place to cross the street
83 Minimize Crossing Distance Florence: :Hwy 101 at 8 th Street
84 Curb Extensions Must have on-street parking Improves visibility of pedestrian Shortens crossing distance Shortens Ped Phase at signalized crossings
85 Reduce Curb Radius to Shorten Crossing Distance
86 With small radii crossing distances are short, crossings are in line with approach sidewalk
87 Drivers can make right turns at high speed Large radii increase crossing distances, pedestrians initiate crossing in a poorly defined area
88 Crosswalks are pushed back from the intersection
89 Speed Matters
90 Speed Affects Crash Severity High speeds lead to greater chance of serious injury & death
91 Provide High Quality Mid-Block Crossings
92 Median Islands Reduce Ped Crashes By 40% Hwy 101 Depoe Bay
93 FHWA Guidance Memo on Consideration and Implementation of Proven Safety Countermeasures 93 Signed July 10, 2008 by FHWA Associate Administrator for Safety. Encourages state and local governments to consider 9 proven safety countermeasures. Highlights when and where countermeasures should be used.
94 94 Nine Proven Safety Countermeasures 1. Roundabouts 2. Access Management 3. Retro-reflective Backplate Borders 4. Road Diet 5. Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon 6. Longitudinal Rumble Strips and Stripes 7. Enhanced Delineation and Friction for Horizontal Curves 8. Medians and Pedestrian Refuge Areas in Urban and Suburban Areas 9. Safety Edge
95 95 Guidance Statement/Application from FHWA Memorandum Raised medians (or refuge areas) should be considered in curbed sections of multi-lane roadways in urban and suburban areas, particularly in areas where there are mixtures of a significant number of pedestrians, high volumes of traffic (more than 12,000 ADT) and intermediate or high travel speeds
96 96 Guidance Statement/Application from FHWA Memorandum Medians/refuge islands should be at least 4 feet wide (preferably 8 feet wide for accommodation of pedestrian comfort and safety) and of adequate length to allow the anticipated number of pedestrians to stand and wait for gaps in traffic before crossing the second half of the street. Median Cut Thrus must be 5 wide, perpendicular to path of travel PROWAG
97 97 Median and Refuge Islands Definitions The Median is the area between opposing lanes of traffic, excluding turn lanes. Medians can either be open (pavement markings only) or they can be channelized (raised medians or islands) to separate various road users. The cross slope of the PAR contained within a mid block crossing may equal the street grade
98 98 Medians and Pedestrian Refuge Areas in Urban and Suburban Areas Safety Benefits 46% reduction in pedestrian crashes at crossings with marked crosswalks 39% reduction in pedestrian crashes at unmarked crosswalk locations 70% reduction in all fatal crashes 1 straight sections assist the blind to orient themselves to the crossing
99 99 Median and Refuge Islands Safety Benefits Simplified crossing for pedestrians Safer nighttime crossing for pedestrians Increased opportunity for gaps Safe access to bus stops GDOT: Benefits of Installing Raised Medians
100 100 Median and Refuge Islands Safety Benefits Reduced crashes for motorists (25%) Improved traffic flow Photo credit: Florida DOT
101 Midblock crossings start with an island Where people want to cross...
102 but that is often where there are driveways.
103 So do you move the driveways...
104 or do you move the crossing?
105
106 Hwy 42 Winston
107
108 Advance stop bar/yield line: To prevent multiple-threat crashes
109 Multiple Threat crash Problem: Car A stops to let pedestrian cross; Car A masks Car B, which doesn t stop, hits pedestrian at high speed.
110 Advance Stop Bar helps prevent Multiple Threat crash Solution: Advance stop bar, so Car A stops further back; Car A no longer masks Car B, which can be seen by pedestrian.
