Evaluation of Pedestrian Safety Measures 1

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-06-0027
Project Abstract:

The objective of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Evaluation of Bicycle and Pedestrian Engineering Countermeasures project was to quantify the effectiveness of medium- to low-cost pedestrian engineering countermeasures. The project focused on existing and new engineering countermeasures for pedestrians and bicyclists that have not yet been comprehensively evaluated.

Goals

The key project objective was to quantify the effectiveness of pedestrian evaluation countermeasures: the High intensity Activated crossWalK (HAWK) beacon, the rectangular rapid-flashing beacon, shared lane markings, three crosswalk marking patterns, and an evaluation methods guide.
