Abstract:

This report presents the methods and key findings from San Francisco PedSafe, a comprehensive pedestrian safety planning and engineering project. It is one of three such projects in the nation funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to evaluate:
In Phase I: The effectiveness of a pedestrian safety plan targeted to higher-injury areas;
In Phase II: The implementation of a range of mostly low-to-moderate-cost, innovative safety improvements.
This report concentrates on the Phase II countermeasure implementation efforts, minimizing duplication with earlier reports, and focusing primarily on the implementation experience and overall lessons learned.
