4 Goals of this Webinar Once you have completed this webinar, you will be: able to implement pedestrian treatments appropriately at uncontrolled locations in rural and local settings for improved pedestrian safety.

5 Learning Outcomes To achieve the webinar goal, you will learn: Understand the characteristics of pedestrian safety in rural and local areas. Identify appropriate locations for uncontrolled pedestrian crossings. Use the guidelines to select appropriate pedestrian treatment(s) at uncontrolled locations. Evaluate the effectiveness of existing pedestrian treatments at uncontrolled locations. List other non-treatment factors that affect pedestrian safety at uncontrolled locations. 5

6 Yan Qi, Assistant Prof. Southern Illinois Univ. Edwardsville Understand the characteristics of pedestrian safety in rural and local areas. Identify appropriate locations for uncontrolled pedestrian crossings. Use the guidelines to select appropriate pedestrian treatment(s) at uncontrolled locations. Evaluate the effectiveness of existing pedestrian treatments at uncontrolled locations. List other non-treatment factors that affect pedestrian safety at uncontrolled locations. 6

7 Crash Statistics Compared to urban areas, higher percentage of severe crashes was found in rural areas Variable No/possible injury Minor injury Severe Injury + Fatality Urban % % % Rural % % % Source: Illinois pedestrian crash data at uncontrolled locations ( )

8 Rural Areas Characteristics that Affect Pedestrian Safety Open surroundings Less traffic Wide lane width - Motorists are more likely to be speeding; High speed limits - Decrease motorists yielding rates - Increase the chances of severe crashes when crashes occur 8

9 Rural Areas Characteristics that Affect Pedestrian Safety (Cont.) Wide lane width Multiple lanes Absence of raised median - Increase pedestrians exposure to live traffic Low pedestrian volume - Motorists don t expect pedestrians to cross streets in rural areas as much as in urban areas 9

10 Other Key Findings Large number of severe crashes occurred at nondesignated pedestrian crossing locations - this indicates that Either there are pedestrian crossing needs, but no marked pedestrian crossings are provided Or the locations are not suitable for uncontrolled pedestrian crossings. 10

11 Other Key Findings (cont.) High percentage of severe crashes occurred during dark conditions - Poor lighting conditions results in poor visibility 11

12 Directing Your Questions via the Chat Pod 1. Chat pod is on left side of screen between attendees pod & closed caption pod 3. Answers will appear here unless addressed verbally 2. Type your question or comment here

13 Poll Question #1 What are the possible reasons that higher percentage of severe crashes was found in rural areas than urban areas? A. Motorists are more likely to be speeding with open surroundings, wide lane width, and multiple lanes B. Wide lane width and multiple lanes increase pedestrian exposure to live traffic C. High speed limits decrease yielding rates and increase the chances of severe crashes D. With less pedestrian volume, motorists don t expect pedestrians to cross streets as much as in urban areas E. All of the above F. None of the above G. I don t know/i don t remember 13

14 Yan Qi, Assistant Prof. Southern Illinois Univ. Edwardsville Understand the characteristics of pedestrian safety in rural and local areas. Identify appropriate locations for uncontrolled pedestrian crossings. Use the guidelines to select appropriate pedestrian treatment(s) at uncontrolled locations. Evaluate the effectiveness of existing pedestrian treatments at uncontrolled locations. List other non-treatment factors that affect pedestrian safety at uncontrolled locations. 14

15 Definition of Uncontrolled Locations Midblock locations and intersection approaches without traffic signals or stop/yield signs are considered as uncontrolled locations. 15

16 Yes Situations for a Marked Crosswalk Crosswalk usage Request from the local government or community Along a walking path towards identified pedestrian generator/destinations Crash record Two B or A- injury crashes in two years or one fatal crash A Incapacitating Injury: Any injury, other than a fatal injury, which prevents the injured person from walking, driving, or normally continuing the activities he/she was capable of performing before the injury occurred. B Non-incapacitating Injury: Any injury, other than a fatal or incapacitating injury, which is evident to observers at the scene of the crash.

17 No Situations for a Marked Crosswalk Speed limit Speed limit>40 mph Traffic volume ADT >35,000 vpd Crossing distance Undivided roadways > 4 lanes Divided roadways > 6 lane 17

18 No Situations (Cont.) Crosswalk spacing An alternative crossing location, marked or unmarked, is within 300 feet (recommended) or 200 feet (minimum). <100 ft. away from the nearest side street or driveway Sight distance Inadequate stopping sight distance or pedestrian sight distance 18

25 At-grade Pedestrian Crossing Treatments For Uncontrolled Locations At-grade pedestrian treatment categories Basic Treatments Example Marked crosswalk with warning sign Enhance Treatments Geometric Elements Warning Beacon Control Beacon Advanced stop line and sign In-street crossing sign Overhead crossing sign Curb Extension Road diet Raised median Raised crosswalk (Flashing Beacon) FS (Flashing Pedestrian Crossing sign) PHB (Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon) 25

26 Basic Treatments Marked crosswalk + pedestrian sign Pedestrian Crossing and Warning Signs (FHWA, 2009) 26

27 Enhanced Treatments Uncontrolled pedestrian crosswalk signs Advanced Stop Line and Sign (PEDSAFE, 2017) 27

28 Geometric Elements Curb extensions (Turner and Carlson, 2000) Road Diet (Knapp, et al., 2014) a) Raised median (Pulugurtha, et al., 2012); b) Split pedestrian crossover (VDOT, 2004) Raised Crossing (PEDSAFE, 2017) 28

29 Warning Beacons a) Pole Mounted and b) Overhead Flashing Beacons (Fitzpatrick, et al., 2006) Flashing Pedestrian Crossing Sign (lightguardsystems.com, last accessed Jan 3, 2018) 29

If raised median, or road diet is feasible then follow the recommendations for the above lane configurations, other wise follow the recommendation below for 4-lane without raised median to decide pedestrian crossing treatments, providing uncontrolled crossings of more than four lanes without a raised median is not recommended.

33 Recommended Minimum Treatments at Uncontrolled Pedestrian Crossings (cont.) BT= Basic Treatment (W11-2 with W16-7P) In-street sign= In-street stop for pedestrian sign (R1-6a); Overhead sign= Overhead crossing sign (R1-9a) may be used based on engineering judgment = Advanced stop line and sign (R1-5b and R1-5c) = Pedestrian activated flashing beacon (pole mounted) FS= Flashing Pedestrian Crossing Sign PHB=Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon; CSOR=Crosswalk Stop on Red line and sign *= Lane configuration includes turn lanes, through lane, and bi-directional lanes. **= Check IL MUTCD signal warrants and consider the feasibility of a grade-separated crossings. Pedestrian hybrid beacons, when installed, create a controlled crossing. Check PHB warrants and comply with IL MUTCD. If PHB is not warranted then consider signal or grade separated crossing. Notes: 1. These treatments are recommended for existing uncontrolled crossings where enhancement is sought, and for new uncontrolled crossings where an engineering study indicates a clear warrant for a crossing. 2. Provision of lighting is recommended at midblock crossings. 3. Ensure that adequate sight distance is provided for both drivers and pedestrians at uncontrolled crossings. 4. At densely developed urban areas and on multi-lane roadway (4 or more lanes), curb extension should be considered when street parking is allowed and posted speed limit is 35 mph. 5. Uncontrolled crosswalk is not recommended if the speed limit is above 40 mph. 6. At places where motorists do not expect crossing (mid-blocks and crossings in rural areas) and in school zones, advanced warning signs with AHEAD/distance plaque (W16-9P or W16-2P) should be considered. 33
