Comment:
This section summarizes the recommendations regarding service measures of effectiveness: Uninterrupted Pedestrian Facilities (Sidewalk and Walkways, Level of Service (LOS) criteria, Platoons, transportation terminals, stairs, crossflows, mixed-use paths, Off-street paths, Exclusive pedestrian trails, Shared pedestrian-bicycle paths), Interrupted Pedestrian Facilities (Signalized Crossings, signalized intersection Level of Service (LOS) criteria, Pedestrian and vehicle delay at Midblock Crossing, Unsignalized Crossings), and Other Waiting Areas and Pedestrian Networks.

Abstract:

The objective of this project is to develop revised operational analysis procedures for transportation facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist users. This document describes the effects of pedestrians and bicyclists on the capacity of signalized intersections. These procedures augment the existing Highway Capacity Manual signalized intersection Level of Service procedures for locations with substantial pedestrian and/or bicycle traffic conflicting with vehicular turning movements. This document incorporates the results of a multi-regional data-collection effort that confirms the validity of a conflict zone occupancy approach to analyze pedestrian and bicycle effects on signalized intersection capacity.
In addition to this report, there were two additional reports produced as part of this effort on Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities. These reports are subtitled as:
Recommended Procedures for the "Bicycles" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual (FHWA-RD-98-108)
Recommeded Procedures for the "Signalized Intersection" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual (FHWA-RD-98-106)
