Based on limited available research, there is believed to be a strong, but unquantified, relationship between pedestrian/motor vehicle crashes and site specific characteristics. Models are currently not available that can help predict pedestrian crashes based on site-specific conditions and operational characteristics of a roadway. A coordinated effort is underway to develop a 'Highway Safety Manual' (HSM) for use in making quantitative estimates of the safety performance of specific highway types and quantitative estimates of proposed improvements to specific highway types. The highway types being addressed in the first edition of the HSM are rural two-lane highways, rural multilane highways, and urban and suburban arterials. Explicit consideration of pedestrian safety on urban and suburban arterials is considered critical to implementation of the first edition of the HSM. The objective of the work under Phase III of the contract for Project 17-26, as presented in this report, is to develop a methodology for quantifying the pedestrian safety effects related to existing site characteristics and/or proposed improvements on urban and suburban arterials. The scope of this new work is similar to the scope of the work in Phases I and II of Project 17-26, except that the new work specifically addresses pedestrian safety. The pedestrian safety prediction methodology has been developed to function as part of the overall safety prediction methodology for urban and suburban arterials being developed in Project 17-26. Thus, the comprehensive methodology will combine predicted values for nonpedestrian crashes based on the methodology developed in Phases I and II of Project 17-26 and predicted values for pedestrian crashes based on the methodology presented in this report.
