Description:
This information guide presents best practices for approving and implementing pedestrian-crossing treatments at uncontrolled locations. The guidebook also discusses how to develop implementation procedures and guidelines for pedestrian-crossing treatments (used by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and local agencies that are adaptable to other jurisdictions). This tool also identifies several common issues associated with high-pedestrian-crash locations.
Pedestrian-crossing treatments were classified into five categories in the study. Treatments are listed with their effectiveness and suitable implementation conditions. The target audiences for this guidebook are transportation professionals, highway designers, traffic engineers, law enforcement officers, and safety specialists who may be involved in efforts to reduce pedestrian crashes at uncontrolled locations.
