"This chart summarizes studies about the effectiveness of engineering countermeasures. Studies where an increase in crashes were reported are also shown since this information is also relevant in selection of countermeasures."
This Student Workbook contains 24 lessons of resource material that is intended for use in university courses on bicycle and pedestrian transportation. The lessons span a wide range of topics including an introduction to bicycling and walking issues, planning and designing for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and supporting elements and programs. This is the second edition of the Student Workbook;the first edition was published as Report No. FHWA-RD-99-198.
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.
The purpose of the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide (part of the Cities for Cycling initiative) is to provide cities with state-of-the-practice solutions that can help create complete streets that are safe and enjoyable for bicyclists.
The purpose of this guidance is to present basic guidelines for work zone traffi c control for pedestrians and bicyclists. It is a supplement to the current edition of the 2011 Virginia Work Area Protection Manual. These recommendations and examples apply to temporary traffi c control zones, as found in construction, maintenance, permit and utility work areas. This information is intended to illustrate the principles of proper work zone traffi c control for pedestrians and bicyclists, but is not a standard.

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of research studies on pedestrian safety in the United States;some foreign research also is included. Readers will find details of pedestrian crash characteristics, measures of pedestrian exposure and hazard, and specific roadway features and their effects on pedestrian safety.
The guide is intended to provide transit agency staff with an easy-to-use resource for improving pedestrian safety. The guide includes a variety of approaches to address common pedestrian safety issues that are likely to arise near transit stations, bus stops, and other places where transit (bus or rail) is operated. It provides references to publications, guides and other tools to identify pedestrian safety problems.
