1 PEDESTRIAN ACCOMMODATIONS DPS 201 AT INTERCHANGES
2 UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES Intersections of freeway ramp terminals at crossroads are the most critical components of an interchange Challenge: balance mobility and safety of peds & bicycles with movement of vehicles Photo Source: Mark Doctor, FHWA I-40 at Carlisle Blvd Albuquerque NM
3 UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES Free-flow ramp movements can be very challenging for pedestrians to cross I-55 exit to Main Street - Madison, MS Photo Source: Mark Doctor, FHWA
4 UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES Drivers do not expect pedestrians around interchanges There is safety in numbers; but pedestrian numbers are usually low around interchanges After coming off freeway 45 mph appears to be a slow speed Provide visual cues Discontinuous facilities Free-flowing entry and exit ramps Insufficient lighting Unmarked crossings Poor sight distance Long crossing distances
5 RESOURCES
6 LACK OF NATIONAL GUIDELINES AASHTO - A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets th Edition 10 Grade Separations and Interchanges 10.1 Introduction and general Types of Interchanges To reduce conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians, or bicycles within interchanges, it is preferable to separate their movements. When separation of pedestrians and bicycle movements from vehicle traffic is not practical, each interchange site should be studied and alternate designs considered to determine the most appropriate arrangement of structures and ramps to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian traffic through and interchange area Interchanges The accommodation of pedestrian and bicyclists also should be considered in the selection of an interchange configuration
7 INTERCHANGES/LARGE INTERSECTIONS
8 PUBLISHED GUIDANCE
9 BEST PRACTICES Design for direct connections Mark crosswalks where ramps intersect local roads Use STOP signs or signals for pedestrian crossings Use appropriate warning signs Do not over-sign Provide adequate lighting Eliminate free-flow right turns where possible Ramp terminals should intersect local roads at right angles Right-turn slip lanes should use tighter angles Use only single rightturn lanes Accommodate bicycles
10 GUIDING PRINCIPLES Provide pedestrian & bicycle facilities Sidewalks Pavement markings Signing ADA accommodations Lighting Bike lanes Keep crosswalks short as possible but balance with most direct route Design ramp geometries to encourage slower vehicle speeds Provide good visibility
11 PEDESTRIAN & BICYCLE ACCOMMODATIONS Just do it!
12 PEDESTRIAN ACCOMMODATIONS Apply Principles from DPS 101 & DPS 201 Sidewalks or shoulders Zone System when designing sidewalks Crosswalks High visibility crosswalks Optimal placement Advance stop/yield bars Signing Florescent yellow-green for pedestrian warning signs Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) Pedestrian crossing islands
13 ZONE SYSTEM Frontage Sidewalk Curb Furniture

41 WHAT S GOOD AND WHAT CAN BE IMPROVED UPON? Could have made this more of a right angle Tight right angle Could make this tighter radii
42 BEFORE & AFTER Flat angle = wide crossing & high-speed turns Tight angle = short crossing & slow speed turns Red arrow = old crosswalk Green arrow = new crosswalk Old ramp alignment Springfield OR
43 TEE IT UP
44 PREFER SLOW SPEED, RIGHT ANGLE URBAN DESIGNS
45 DESIGN DETAILS SLIP LANES W/ISLAND Tighter angle 55 to 60 degree angle between vehicle flows. 40 Old Way New way High speed, head turner = low visibility of pedestrians Slow speed, good angle = good visibility of pedestrians
46 RIGHT-TURN SLIP LANE - DETAILS Cut through medians and islands 2:1 length/width ratio 55 to 70 between vehicular flows. Crosswalk one car length back 25 to 40 radius depending on design vehicle Long radius followed by short Bicycle lane 150 to 275 radius
47 ALTERNATIVE INTERSECTIONS/ INTERCHANGES INFORMATION REPORT DIVERGING DIAMOND INTERCHANGE INFORMATION GUIDE (COMING LATE OCTOBER 2014)
48 WHAT IS A DIVERGING DIAMOND INTERCHANGE? An interchange form that allows two directions of traffic on the crossroad to temporarily cross to the opposite side to gain access to and from the freeway more easily
49 FHWA VIDEO ON HOW A DDI WORKS
50 OUTSIDE VS. INSIDE PEDESTRIAN PATH Pedestrian facilities on the inside minimizes conflicts with left-turning traffic to and from the freeway and allows crossing the interchange in all directions (along the arterial and crossing the arterial) For underpass DDIs, existing center bridge columns may dictate putting pedestrian walkways on the outside
51 PEDESTRIAN VEHICLE CONFLICT POINTS Outside Walkway Center Walkway
52 PEDESTRIAN PATH IN CENTER Source: MoDOT
53 PEDESTRIANS DOWN THE MIDDLE Very positive feedback from user surveys Saves bridge width May require structural capacity considerations

58 PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL Limited Sight Distance - use Pedestrian Signal DDI Kansas City, MO DDI Kansas City, MO
59 ROUNDABOUTS AT INTERCHANGES Dog Bone Diamond Compared to signalized intersections, roundabouts require fewer lanes on the crossroad (no need for turn lanes) resulting in a narrower bridge Roundabouts can have either a true circular shape or a raindrop shape Raindrop-shaped islands eliminate direct U-turn movements (U-turns can be made by circulating around both roundabouts)

64 CASE STUDIES
65 Queens, NY CASE STUDY: PEDESTRIANS AT INTERCHANGES (QUEENS, NY) Problem/Background Pulaski Bridge is a major connector between Queens and Brooklyn Intersection at the base of the bridge had heavy traffic volumes, frequent vehicle crashes and a history of complaints about pedestrian crossings Northbound double right turns during different signal phases No crosswalk on the south side of the intersection Crossing for high-volume bus to subway transfer Source: NYC DOT
66 Queens, NY CASE STUDY: PEDESTRIANS AT INTERCHANGES (QUEENS, NY) Solution To simplify the intersection, right turns from the bridge guided to service road A new crosswalk and three median refuge islands added Signal phasing changed to ease movement from bus to subway Road nearest bridge converted from a two-way to one-way street to reduce conflicts Lanes on Jackson Ave converted to 2 left-turn-only & 1 through lane Source: NYC DOT
67 Queens, NY CASE STUDY: PEDESTRIANS AT INTERCHANGES (QUEENS, NY) Results Clarified vehicular movements Improved pedestrian safety, circulation and access; Intersection brought into a neighborhood scale Travel times on Jackson Ave declined 29% in the morning and 23% in the evening peak times No bicycle or pedestrian injuries recorded in 17 months after implementation
