Abstract:

Pedestrian safety is always a high priority for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), especially as FDOT moves Florida toward a truly multimodal transportation system. Intersections are where vehicles and pedestrians are most likely to interact and where most pedestrian injuries occur so intersections are a focal point for improving pedestrian safety. A low-cost measure that can help in this situation is the Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI), in which a Walk signal is given a few seconds before the traffic light turns green, giving pedestrians a head start and alerting drivers to pedestrians' presence. LPI is not applied at all intersections, and more research-based guidance is needed to determine where LPI is useful and how it should be applied. University of South Florida researchers conducted an integrated study to determine the suitability and effectiveness of LPI implementation at intersections.
