| Abstract | The objectives of this study were to review the rural-suburban pedestrian accident data (Knoblauch, 1977) and freeway pedestrian accident data (Knoblauch, Moore and Schmitz, 1976) and determine which accident types were amenable to countermeasures development. Countermeasure classes considered were model traffic regulations and public information and education (PI&E). The results of the analysis indicated that the development of four prototype regulations to serve as legislative models appeared to be promising in reducing the target accident types. The four model regulations include the: (1) Model Regulation for School Bus Pedestrians; (2) Model Regulation for Pedestrians on Highways; (3) Model Freeway Restrictions Regulation; (4) Model Vehicle Hazard Warning Lights Regulations. Four media packages were also seen as potentially effective countermeasures for their target accident types. Initial concepts are presented for the following media packages: School Bus Driver Pamphlet; Dismounted Motorist Public Service Announcements; Mailbox Safety Flyer; Road Worker Pamphlet. A complete discussion of the background accident data, the countermeasure objectives, content rationale, and the requirements for further development, implementation and testing (where appropriate) is provided for the model regulations and media packages. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
