Abstract:Interest in multimodal transportation and walkable/bikeable communities has led to
construction of more sidewalks and bicycle paths. However, in many places, sidewalks or
bicycle paths are not continuous, leaving gaps that force pedestrians and bicyclists to make
decisions about using the road, potentially exposing them to danger. Some gaps are more
dangerous than others, and a system to prioritize them for completion is needed.
University of Central Florida researchers
developed a tool to assist agencies in prioritizing
sidewalk and bicycle path gaps. They also
developed an average pedestrian crash rate as a
baseline for comparison.
