| Abstract | One of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s top priorities is the improvement of pedestrian and bicyclist safety. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) promotes safe, comfortable, and convenient walking for people of all ages and abilities. Part of this effort has been to encourage a data-driven approach to identifying and mitigating safety problems. An initial step in reducing the frequency of pedestrian crashes is identifying where they occur or where there is a concern that they are likely to occur. As part of an FHWA project, the Guidebook on Identification of High Pedestrian Crash Locations was developed to assist State and local agencies in identifying high pedestrian crash locations, such as intersections (points), segments, facilities, and areas.(1) The process of identifying high pedestrian crash locations resulted in a prioritized list of potential locations on the roadway system that could benefit from safety improvement projects. |
