1 Development of Arlington County s Marked Crosswalk Guidelines Jon Lawler, P.E. Design Engineer Arlington County, VA April 13, 2015
2 Transportation System Users Residents Estimated 215,000 in 2014 Lowest resident drive alone commute rate in Virginia 46% of residents use non single occupancy vehicle as primary commute mode Employees Over 220,000 jobs in ,000+ jobs clustered around transit in Arlington s high-density corridors. 160,000+ workers commute into Arlington daily Visitors 4 million plus visitors to Arlington National Cemetery Over 11,000 hotel rooms used as a base for visitors from outside the region Many daily visitors from adjacent jurisdictions Through travelers & commuters 2
3 Providing Travel Options Investing to enhance the quality of all travel options. 1,094 lane-miles of streets and 19 miles of HOV lanes Over 5,300 on-street metered parking spaces 12 miles of Metrorail and 11 stations VRE commuter rail Extensive regional and local bus service Car-share program with over 80 cars Bikeshare program with 69 stations 50 miles of multi-use trails and 36 miles of on-street bike lanes and sharrows Extensive and growing network of sidewalks 3
4 Traffic Trends Smart growth has allowed Arlington to add population while decreasing traffic volumes. Traffic on main arterials is down over 15-year period. Street Segment Street Type /2012 % Change Lee Hwy - Rosslyn EW 6-lane arterial 37,770 31, % Wash. Blvd. - VA Square EW 4-lane arterial 20,469 17, % Clarendon Blvd. EW 2-lane 1-way arterial 13,980 13, % Wilson Blvd. - Clarendon EW 2-lane 1-way arterial 16,368 12, % Arlington Blvd. EW 6-lane arterial 55,865 65, % Glebe Road - Ballston NS 6-lane arterial 35,230 31, % Glebe Road - South of Columbia Pike NS 4-lane arterial 29,000 27, % George Mason Drive NS 4-lane arterial 20,002 20, % Jefferson Davis Hwy north of Glebe Road NS 6-lane arterial 52,000 44, % 4
5 Transit Ridership Trends Arlington is focused on the development of high-quality transit moving more people without more traffic. Transit ridership grew significantly over 15-year period. FY1996 Actual FY2013 Actual % Growth Metrorail Arlington Stations 45,335,000 59,528, % Metrobus Arlington Routes 12,049,000 14,848, % VRE Crystal City 567,000 1,102, % Arlington Transit (ART) 105,000 2,644,000 2,518% Total Annual Ridership 58,076,000 78,122, % 40% of Virginia s total annual transit ridership is from Arlington-related trips. 5
6 Population Growth Trends Of the County s major transit corridors, the most significant population growth through 2040 will occur along Columbia Pike. 6
7 Arlington County Background 7
8 VA State Code Crosswalk Definition Means that part of a roadway at an intersection included within the connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on opposite sides of the highway measured from the curbs or, in the absence of curbs, from the edges of the traversable roadway; or any portion of a roadway at an intersection or elsewhere distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface. Crosswalks exist whenever sidewalks extend across a street at an intersection 8
9 Existing County Guidance Lacked standards or guidelines Only dictated how crosswalks should be marked Primary purpose of a marked crosswalk is to identify the preferred path for pedestrian and bicyclists to cross the road where there may be potential conflict. 9
10 2003 MUTCD Guidance Mark at all intersections where there is substantial conflict between vehicular and pedestrian movements Section 3B.18: crosswalk lines should not be used indiscriminately Perform engineering study at uncontrolled locations Install warning signage at mid-block crossings 10
11 Current MUTCD Guidance 11
12 Current MUTCD Guidance Crosswalk lines should not be used indiscriminately Uncontrolled locations: Perform engineering study # of lanes Median presence Distance from adjacent signalized intersections Pedestrian crossing volumes & delays ADT Speed Geometry Potential for consolidating multiple crossing points Street lighting Do T mark crosswalk when speed limit exceeds 40 mph AND: 4+ lanes w/o raised median and ADT > 12,000 vpd 4+ lanes w/ raised median and ADT > 15,000 vpd 12
13 Current NACTO Guidance Design criteria ADT > 3,000 vpd Speed > 20 mph # of lanes > 2 Frequent crossings reinforce walkability Designers should be sensitive to the misperception that a crosswalk is the only legal place to cross the street Mark all crosswalks at signalized intersections 13
14 FHWA Crosswalk Safety Guidance Ped crash rate was much higher at marked crosswalks than at unmarked crosswalks when: ADT > 15,000 vpd ADT > 12,000 vpd on multilane facilities w/o raised median 14
15 FHWA Crosswalk Safety Guidance 15
16 FHWA Crosswalk Safety Guidance C = Candidate sites for marked crosswalks P = Possible increase in pedestrian crash risk may occur if crosswalks are added without other pedestrian facility enhancements N = Marked crosswalks alone are insufficient, since pedestrian crash risk may be increased by providing marked crosswalks alone 16
17 Guidelines from Comparable Agencies Washington DC (DDOT) San Francisco (SFMTA) Seattle (SDOT) Boulder (City of Boulder, CO) Commonwealth of Virginia (VDOT) 17
18 Common Design Criteria Minimum vehicle volume Minimum pedestrian crossing volume Minimum distance to nearest crosswalk Crosswalk visibility 18
19 Minimum Vehicle Volume 1,500 vpd threshold Unless school crossing < 1,500 vpd are considered low-volume streets DDOT & Boulder use 1,500 vpd threshold 19
20 Minimum Pedestrian Crossing Volume 20 peds/hour 45 peds crossing over any 3 hours Adjacent land use type 40 peds/hour at mid-block crossings No differentiation in pedestrians ages 20
21 Minimum Distance to Nearest Xwalk 300 minimum spacing requirement to nearest controlled crosswalk 200 for crossings located within a Metro Station Area Minimum Spacing Agency 300 DDOT 300 SFMTA 200 SDOT 300 (200 in urban areas) City of Boulder 300 VDOT 21
22 Metro Station Areas 22
23 Metro Station Areas 23
24 Sight Distance 8 x speed limit DDOT & Boulder 8 x speed limit VDOT 10 x speed limit Design Speed (mph) AASHTO Design SSD Multiplier
25 Nighttime Visibility Lighting requirement is 2X requirement for the roadway SFMTA explicitly requires street lighting adjacent to crosswalk 25
