• Abstract:
  Just as communities can efficiently mount crime prevention programs by focusing them in high-crime areas, they can also efficiently concentrate pedestrian safety improvements by carefully selecting where they are applied. To do this, they need to be able to identify small land areas (or zones) where these improvements will reach a large number of the pedestrians whose crash risk is to be reduced. This guide describes what zoning is and explains how to design and use pedestrian safety zones to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of pedestrian safety programs. The guide also provides a brief description of a recent pedestrian safety study that made successful use of the pedestrian safety zone process.
