The report presents the evaluation of thirty-one (31) highway and street sections identified by a statewide survey as experiencing a high incidence of pedestrian accidents. These sections represent the most critical sections of roadways in the State (excluding Baltimore City) in regard to total pedestrian accidents, based on a three-year period, 1974-1976. Traffic studies conducted at these locations found a number of highway characteristics and pedestrian behavior patterns that are contributing factors to the pedestrian accidents. Also, a number of highway deficiencies that could adversely impact pedestrian safety were identified. These deficiencies included wide roadways, poor sight distances, poor street lighting, and poorly marked crosswalks. Engineering improvements such as sidewalks, pedestrian islands, street lighting, and marked crosswalks will provide a safer walking environment for the pedestrians.
