The project focused on the determination of the effectiveness of nine safety countermeasures. A series of behavioral studies was conducted to determine the extent to which the proposed countermeasures inhibit undesirable vehicular and pedestrian behaviors. These studies, conducted in eight cities, evaluated the behavioral effects associated with the installation of a countermeasure by means of pairing each experimental site with a control site in a pre-post design. Data collection methods included mechanical recording of vehicle speed and headway, and time-lapse photography, and manual coding of pedestrian and vehicle behavior. During the 204 days of data collection, the crossing behavior of over 16,000 pedestrians were characterized. The accident reduction potential of the various countermeasures was assessed.
