| Abstract | The Guide provides information on how to identify safety and mobility needs of pedestrians within roadway rights-of-way. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the creation of a walkable environment. Chepter 2 describes basic pedestrian crash trends and the examination and clasification of crash types to determine appropriate countermeasures. Chapter 3 defines 13 pedestrian crash-type groupings and factors important to selecting the best countermeasures. These crash groupings are then presented in terms of how to select pedestrian safety improvements to address specific crash problems. Chapter 4 contains the details of 47 different engineering improvements for pedestrians. These improvements relate to the walking environment, roadway design, intersection treatments, traffic calming, traffic management, and signals and signs. Chapter 4 also provides a simplified list of improvements to address certain broad objectives (e.g., reducing speeds on a street, reducing pedestrian exposure) without the need for pedestrian crash data. |
