Warrants for Pedestrian Over and Underpasses

摘要

The purpose of this research was to develop warrants for pedestrian over and underpasses or grade separated pedestrian crossings (GSPCs). This research was conducted by first performing a literature review of existing practices and assessment of the state-of-the-practice to identify general types of warrants and existing warrants. A panel of advisors was formed to evaluate the practicality of the existing and candidate warrants. A behavioral study was conducted to ascertain pedestrians' perceptions of risks and inconvenience associated with use of sample GSPCs. Candidate warrants were developed and validated by contingency table and chi-square analyses of site characteristics of sample GSPCs.
