Previous FHWA research on pedestrian exposure identified four problem areas as promising candidates for accident reduction: intersections without marked pedestrian crosswalks, major arterial streets, local streets, and locations lacking sidewalks or pedestrian pathways. The report describes the results of a project undertaken to examine these four problem areas. The objectives of the project were to: Evaluate past research on pedestrian crosswalk markings and develop guidance for when and what type of crosswalk markings should be provided; Investigate traffic engineering improvements for major arterial streets to increase pedestrian safety; Investigate traffic engineering improvements for local streets to increase pedestrian safety; and Examine existing guidance/warrants for the provision of pedestrian pathways and sidewalks and prepare revised guidance/warrants.
