3 Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018 Pedestrian Treatments Signed Crossings Types of Signs Additional Features Flashing Beacons RRFB In Pavement Lights Controlled Crossings Mid Block Traffic Signal HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crosswalk beacon) Other Considerations Refuge Islands Curb Bump Outs High Visibility Crosswalks

4 Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018 Uncontrolled Crossings Signage High Visibility Pavement Markings Ladder Continental Advance Yield Markings Lighting where possible

5 Geometric Improvements Uncontrolled Crossings Increase visibility and reduce exposure Examples Refuge Island Curb Bump outs Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018

6 RRFB Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon Rapid Strobe-like flasher Shows High yielding rates Sustained yield rate Often Solar Powered Average Cost $15,000 Pedestrian Activated Crossings Recent FHWA RRFB news: Approval rescinded by FHWA in December 2017 New Interim in Approval (21) March 2018 April 2018 ODOT received blanket approval for all locations All installations must be documented and inventoried Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018

7 Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018 Pedestrian Activated Crossings Flashing Sign Overhead or Side Mounted Span Wire or Mast Arms Flashing Beacons Traditional Flash Pattern Overhead or Side Mounted Span Wire or Mast Arms

8 In Pavement Lights Passive or Active Actuation Hardwired or Wireless options Average Cost $18,000 Pedestrian Activated Crossings Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018

9 Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018 Controlled Crossing Signalized Crosswalk Most effective with immediate actuation Should be coordinated with adjacent signals Maintenance is important Cost $80,000-$100,000

10 Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018 Controlled Crossing HAWK Signal High Intensity Activated Cross Walk Pedestrian Activated Average Cost $57,000 Can be coordinated with other signals

11 How do I know if I need a crossing? 1. MUTCD Signal Warrants (Warrant 4) 2. NCHRP Report 562 (Hamilton County) 3. City of Boulder Method Limitations of Warrants -Consolidating crossings -Newer destinations

12 Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018 How do I know if I need a crossing? MUTCD Signal Warrants

13 What type of crossing? NCHRP Report 562 Step 1 Choose Worksheet based on speed Step 2- Peak Hour Ped Volume > 20 Move to Step 3 (14 for > ) < 20 consider refuge islands, curb extension etc. Step 3-Does the crossing meet the pedestrian volume warrant? Yes-a signal should be considered No-move so step 4 Step 4-Total Pedestrian Delay (Dp) Based on walking speed, crossing distance, Major Road volume/flow rate, average pedestrian delay Step 5-Select Treatment Expected motorist compliance (high or low) Traffic Engineering Workshop 2018
