3 Instructors John LaPlante, P.E., PTOE Chief Traffic Engineer T.Y. Lin International Richard C. Moeur, P.E. Chair, NCUTCD Bicycle Technical Committee Learning objective Identify the significant revisions that have been included in the 2009 MUTCD with a special emphasis on those changes that directly affect pedestrians and bicyclists 3
4 Development of the 2009 MUTCD NPA published in the Federal Register on January 2, 2008 Received 1,840 individual letters with over 15,000 comments Final Rule published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2009 Effective date = January 15, 2010 Significant Changes - MUTCD Old MUTCD: All devices must be compliant Agencies were required to update devices, both new and existing New MUTCD: Only new devices must be compliant Agencies are required to update devices as they wear out Older devices can remain for "remaining service life" unless there's a defined compliance date 4
5 Parts of MUTCD Introduction Part 1 - General Part 2 - Signs Part 3 - Markings Part 4 - Signals Part 5 - Low Volume Roads Part 6 - Temporary Traffic Control Part 7 - Schools Part 8 - Railroad & Light Rail (Part 10 moved into Part 8) Part 9 - Bicycles 2009 MUTCD Revisions to Part 2 Signs 5
6 Variant of Yield Here to Pedestrians signs for State laws requiring full stop Overhead pedestrian crossing signs 6
7 In-street pedestrian crossing signs Placement locations Background may be fluorescent yellow or fluorescent yellow-green Supports for in-street pedestrian crossing signs must be designed to bend over and bounce back when struck 7
8 Symbol added to pedestrian pushbutton signs New special-purpose pushbutton signs 8
9 R10-15 New symbolic design for the R10-15 sign Fluorescent yellow-green color Required for school and school bus signs Optional for pedestrian, bike, and playground signs 9
10 New sign and plaque for combined pedestrian/bicycle crossing 2009 MUTCD Revisions to Part 3 Markings 10
11 Sections 3B.13 and 3B.14 Guidance against use of RPMs with right-hand edge lines has been softened for some conditions Should not be used unless engineering judgment indicates: - benefits of enhanced delineation outweigh possible impacts to bicycles using shoulder, and - spacing of RPMs is close enough to avoid misinterpretation as a broken line on wet night. Revised guidance for provision of marked crosswalks New marked crosswalks alone, without other substantial measures to reduce speeds, shorten crossing distance, enhance driver awareness of crossing, and/or provide active warning of ped presence should not be installed across uncontrolled roadways with: > 4 travel lanes, and Speed limit > 40 mph, and ADT > 12,000 without raised median or ped refuge, or > 15,000 with raised median or ped refuge 11
12 New Chapter 3C Pavement markings at roundabouts Section 3G.01 Colored pavements Non-retroreflective, for aesthetics only, not to communicate a message = not a TCD Retroreflective or intended to communicate a regulatory, warning, or guidance message = TCD (shall comply with color code and other provisions for markings) 12
13 2009 MUTCD Revisions to Part 4 Signals Signal warrants revisions to Warrant 4 (Pedestrian Volume) More comparable to vehicular volume warrants 13
14 Chapter 4F New pedestrian hybrid beacon 1 4 Blank for drivers 2 Flashing yellow 3 Steady yellow Hybrid Beacon Sequence Steady red 5 Wig-WagWag Return to 1 Designing for Complete Streets Drivers see Hybrid Beacon Peds see Pedhead
15 New pedestrian hybrid beacon Recent TTI study found a 69% reduction in ped crashes and a 15% reduction in all crashes Current guidance states that this device should not be installed at or within 100 feet of an intersection, despite the fact that the findings above were almost exclusively at intersections The National Committee is currently revisiting this guidance statement Section 4E.06 Pedestrian intervals and signal phases If a walking person or a flashing upraised hand is displayed A steady red or flashing red must be displayed to any conflicting vehicular movement that is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the crosswalk Crosswalk w/ ped signals across signalcontrolled RT slot 15
16 Ped change interval (FDW) shall end at least 3 seconds ( buffer ) before release of conflicting traffic Buffer shall not begin later than the start of the red clearance interval, if used Compliance date 12/31/2014 or when timing adjustments are made (whichever occurs first) Slower walking speed for calculating pedestrian clearance time (guidance) 4.0 feet per second Ped. Clearance Time based on 3.5 feet/sec [Exception allows 4.0 ft/sec if extended button press or passive ped detection allows slower peds to request additional crossing time] Sum of Walk time + Ped. Clearance Time based on 3.0 feet per second for distance from ped detector to far side 16
17 Optional leading pedestrian interval Countdown pedestrian displays - Required for all ped signals where ped change interval is more than 7 sec. - No specific compliance date for retrofitting existing ped signals (can remain w/o countdown until ped heads replaced) - May be used even if ped change interval is 7 sec. or less 17
18 New meaning of flashing upraised hand when pedestrian countdown signals are present was NOT ADOPTED Ped may enter the intersection on the flashing upraised hand when a countdown pedestrian signal indication is present if they areabletotraveltothefar able travel the side of the traveled way by the time conflicting traffic receives a green signal New guidance and figures for locations of pedestrian pushbuttons for a variety of conditions (APS compatible) 18
19 Positioning of pedestrian pushbuttons and legends on pushbutton signs shall clearly indicate which crosswalk signal is activated by which pushbutton Accessible pedestrian signals (APS) and accessible detectors combined and reorganized into five new sections 4E.09 General 4E.10 Location 4E.11 Walk indications 4E.12 Tactile arrows and locator tones 4E.13 Extended press button features 19
20 APS pushbutton locations APS pushbutton locations similar to 2003 edition now apply to non-aps pushbutton also (Section 4E.08) As close as possible to the crosswalk line furthest from center of intersection, and as close as possible to the curb ramp If 2 buttons on same corner, separate them by at least 10 ft. (unless physical constraints make impractical) 10 ft MIN 10 ft MIN APS WALK indications Shall provide both in both audible & vibrotactile form same duration as WALK interval Audible: Percussive tone (8 to 10 ticks/sec), except: - if 2 buttons < 10 ft apart or on same pole, shall use speech WALK message rather than audible tone (Street Name). Walk sign is on to cross (Street Name). Vibrotactile vibrating tactile arrow 20
21 Tactile arrows Shall be located on each pushbutton Shall be aligned parallel to the direction of travel on the associated crosswalk Locator tone Shall be incorporated into each APS pushbutton Shall operate during intervals other than the WALK interval Special APS features via extended pushbutton press May be actuated by button press of 1 second or more: - Longer crossing time - Speech information message - Audible beaconing 21
22 Speech information messages Actuated only during intervals other than WALK Required if two APS pushbuttons on same corner < 10 ft apart or on same pole (optional otherwise) Message format: Wait. Wait to cross (Street Name 1) at (Street Name 2) Unusual geometry, phasing may also be described 2009 MUTCD Revisions to Part 7 Schools 22
23 R1-6b R1-6c Schoolchildren symbol may be used on in-street signs at school crossings Overhead pedestrian crossing signs with schoolchildren symbols may be used at unsignalized school crossings 23
24 Operating procedures for adult crossing guards changed from recommended to required Shall not direct traffic in the usual law enforcement regulatory sense Shall pick opportune times to create a sufficient gap in traffic flow Shall stand in roadway Shall use a STOP paddle Adult school crossing guards and law enforcement personnel performing school crossing supervision must wear Class 2 high-visibility apparel (compliance date is 12/31/2011) Provisions in former Chapter 7E regarding school-age crossing guards were deleted 24
25 2009 MUTCD Revisions to Part 8 Railroad and Light Rail Audible devices are required at active LRT grade crossings used by pedestrians AUDIBLE DEVICE 25
26 New Chapter 8D on pathway grade crossings 2009 MUTCD Revisions to Part 9 Bicycles 26
27 Significant Changes - Part 9 Revised sign height & offset standards Signing g no longer mandatory along bike lanes New "Bikes May Use Full Lane" regulatory sign New signs for path users (skaters, equestrians) New combo Bicycle/Pedestrian warning sign New bicycle-focused guide signs, route markers, and mileposts New shared lane marking Interesting, ti but not included in 2009 MUTCD 27
28 Lateral offset and mounting height requirements for traffic control devices on shared-use paths Sign Height/Offset For Paths Deleted maximum mounting height & maximum offset Increases flexibility for practitioners without compromising safety Conforms with sign mounting on other facility types 28
29 Bicycle lane regulatory signs are recommended but no longer required Signs are still the same Bikes May Use Full Lane Sign Optional for use in "narrow" lanes Can be used independently, or with SLM Supported by UVC and many states' laws 29
30 D11-1a D11-2 D11-3 D11-4 New mode- specific guide signs for shareduse paths New selective exclusion signs for modes other than bikes and pedestrians R9-13 R
31 Three new pushbutton signs including two that include a bicycle symbol R10-24 R10-25 R10-26 Revised legend on W5-4a sign W5-4a 31
32 New sign and plaque for combined pedestrian/bicycle crossing W W11-15P New Combo Bike/Ped Sign Optional for use at path crossings Shows 2 types of primary path users Cannot "fix" problems at sidepath intersections 32
33 New bicycle destination guide signs D1-3c D11-1c Reference location signs for use on shared-use paths D10-2 D10-2a 33
34 New Bicycle Route sign that provides a place for a pictograph M1-8 M1-8a Revised design of the U.S. Bicycle Route sign M1-9 34
35 Changes in design and sizes of auxiliary signs used with Bicycle Route signs M4-14 M4-5 New shared lane pavement marking 35
36 Shared Lane Marking Intended to show correct cyclist location where bike lanes shouldn t or can t be installed Can be used in locations with and without onstreet parking Shared Lane Markings 36
37 Shared Lane Markings Sharrow Reinforces shared lane concept Keeps bikes away from door zone Where to use: Narrow shared use road where bicyclists clists tend to ride too close to parked cars or curb Low roadway speeds with high parking turnover Projects Underway Standardized signs for bikes on freeways (Approved by NCUTCD) Revised US Bicycle Route sign (Approved by NCUTCD) "Except Bikes" plaque for regulatory signs New figures for bikes in work zones Bicycle traffic signals Studies recently completed Draft MUTCD content under development 37
38 Pending Stuff Colored Bike Lanes Earlier studies showed inconclusive results Awaiting data from Portland, Austin, elsewhere Large San Francisco study getting underway Bike Boxes Offset stop lines already allowed (w/o color fill) Awaiting data from Portland and Austin Austin: Staged implementation ti (box/color/signs/pr) / /PR) When's The Next MUTCD? FHWA would like a 5-year cycle for new MUTCD editions Proposed content would need to be ready and submitted to FHWA in 2-3 years Rulemaking cycle: Typically 2 years from NPA to Final Rule ? Items can be added earlier via Interim Approval 38
