This study evaluated the performance of pedestrian-bicycle crossing alternatives at Continuous Flow Intersections (CFI). Further, a comparison was also performed of CFI crossing types against a standard intersection designed to provide an equivalent volume-to-capacity ratio. Three CFI crossing alternatives were tested, namely Traditional, Offset, a

The Personal Electric Mobility Device (PEMD) is becoming a popular, accessible mode of transportation among the people who used to walk, bike, and drive cars. Although PEMDs have plenty of features, their safety and operational features while running on a walkway or roadway are less known. As these devices are too fast for a footpath and too slow f
