Pg 113-114: A Review of Pedestrian Safety Research in the United States and Abroad

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.

Pg 11-15: Pedestrian and Bicyclist Road Safety Audit (RSA) Guide and Prompt Lists

This guide is intended to support agencies that are interested in conducting pedestrian- and bicycle-focused RSAs and includes information on safety risks for both modes, the RSA process, necessary data, and the roles and responsibilities of the RSA Team. Also included are updated prompt lists for pedestrians and bicyclists to use in the field.

Pg 8-12: Toward a Shared Understanding of Pedestrian Safety: An Exploration of Context, Patterns, and Impacts

Provides context on pedestrian safety issues, crash patterns and contributing factors, and resulting impacts that may help orient readers from diverse sectors—including advocates, roadway owners and operators, legislators and law makers, real estate developers, businesses and private industries, public health practitioners, researchers, educators, enforcement officers, and others—to identify shared concerns and opportunities to make a difference.

Pg 23-24: Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations

This guide assists State or local transportation or traffic safety departments that are considering developing a policy or guide to support the installation of countermeasures at uncontrolled pedestrian crossing locations. This document provides guidance to agencies, including best practices for each step involved in selecting countermeasures. By focusing on uncontrolled crossing locations, agencies can address a significant national safety problem and improve quality of life for pedestrians of all ages and abilities.
