Abstract:

In large cities, pedestrians can account for 40% to 50% of traffic fatalities. In 2014 there were 4,884 pedestrian fatalities and about 65,000 injuries in the United States (NHTSA, 2015). Many of these incidents occur at crosswalks where drivers fail to comply with pedestrian crossing laws. Driver compliance increased in Gainesville, Florida, after applying NHTSA’s high-visibility enforcement (HVE) model to pedestrian right-of-way laws. The original study report is available at www.nhtsa.gov/staticfiles/ nti/pdf/811786.pdf. This current study was a follow-up to the original Gainesville pedestrian HVE project. The objective was to determine the extent to which the observed increases in driver yielding obtained in the original study persisted over a follow-up period of nearly 4 years after the HVE intervention program ended.
