FHWA Concludes Pedestrian Countermeasure Study in Three Cities

摘要

Overall, it appears the project was successful in demonstrating that a locality can implement targeted, low-cost improvements and have an impact on its pedestrian safely problem. Only about $ 1 million of grant money was spent during the study duration by each city on the countermeasures implemented, with each location contributing slightly more of their own funding and "in kind" services. As with any new traffic control device, engineers should carefully consider their road users and facilities before deciding on a particular treatment.
