Piloting a Research-Backed Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Toolkit

Delaware
Delaware DOT is testing the pedestrian crossing toolkit developed under NCHRP 03-143. This spreadsheet-based resource incorporates roadway context and yielding data from hundreds of field study sites to help practitioners select treatments for unsignalized intersections and midblock crossings.

Orange Blossom Trail Pedestrian Safety Improvements

Florida
An $8.7m pedestrian safety project along 1.1 mi of a six-lane arterial in Orlando. Upgrades included raised mid-block crossings, pedestrian hybrid beacons, in-pavement lights, lighting, median fencing, and realigning bus stops with the crosswalks.

Arizona Virtuous Cycle of Safety – Traffic Data to RSA to Design Changes

Arizona
ADOT uses a continuous feedback loop in traffic safety. Crash and driver behavior monitoring develop road safety audit (RSA) candidate locations. RSAs develop recommended design changes. Approved recommendations are designed into roadway projects. New designs are then monitored for crash and driver behavior. Full circle.
