Pg 15-19: PedSafe Countermeasures Miami Dade Phase 2 Final Report

This report presents the methods and key findings from the Miami‐Dade 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 to target higher‐injury areas;
In Phase II: The implementation of a range of mostly low‐to‐moderate‐cost, innovative engineering safety improvements.

10.2: Roadside Design Guide, 4th Edition

The Roadside Design Guide presents a synthesis of current information and operating practices related to roadside safety and is written in dual units—metric and U.S. Customary.

Pg 45-50: Urban Street Design Guide

A blueprint for designing 21st century streets, the Guide unveils the toolbox and the tactics cities use to make streets safer, more livable, and more economically vibrant. The Guide outlines both a clear vision for complete streets and a basic road map for how to bring them to fruition.

Countermeasures_At Crossing Locations: Pedestrian Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System (PEDSAFE)

The Pedestrian Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System is intended to provide practitioners with the latest information available for improving the safety and mobility of those who walk. The online tools provide the user with a list of possible engineering, education, or enforcement treatments to improve pedestrian safety and/or mobility based on user input about a specific location.

Pg 8-15: Applying the Americans with Disabilities Act in Work Zones: A Practitioners Guide

A basic requirement of work zone traffic control, as provided in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), is that the needs of pedestrians, including those with disabilities, must be addressed in temporary traffic control plans (TCPs) in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Title II, Paragraph 35.130. The ADA is a Federal law that requires that pedestrians with physical and/or mental disabilities be accommodated not only in completed, publicly accessible facilities, but also during times of construction or improvement.

Pg 35-60: Application of Pedestrian Crossing Treatments for Streets and Highways

TRB's NCHRP Synthesis 498: Application of Pedestrian Crossing Treatments for Streets and Highways compiles information on the state of existing practices regarding application of pedestrian crossing improvements, and does not produce new guidance. The report includes a survey of state departments of transportation (DOTs) and local transportation agencies, a synthesis of current recommended practice and policy guidance, and a literature review of safety evidence for more than 25 pedestrian crossing treatments.
