The purpose of the project was to study problems encountered by senior citizen and handicapped pedestrians in crossing streets, to analyze potential solutions, and to develop standards, guidelines, and warrants for traffic control devices to accommodate this group of pedestrians. A multi-agency study committee was formed to conduct this research effort. Standard guidelines and design practices were developed for signs, pavement markings, and flashing beacons used to accommodate senior citizen and handicapped pedestrians. A traffic signal warrant for senior citizen and handicapped pedestrians was developed. Also, standard operational techniques were developed for use at signalized intersections to accommodate this group of pedestrians.
