Abstract:As people are being encouraged to walk more to reduce environmental impacts and improve public health, transportation professionals are obligated to make walking as safe as possible. To date, the dominant strategy used by state agencies to allocate safety resources is the hotspot approach,which focuses on identifying and recommending improvements for high collision concentration locations. Another strategy, the systemic approach, seeks blanket improvements that can be implemented at sites throughout the road network, based on specific roadway features that are associated with a particular crash type. This study developed a systemic approach to identify pedestrian safety problems and improvements. The process included: (a) developing a practical method to identify systemic pedestrian safety challenges throughout the state highway system; (b) providing a list of potential improvements to support practitioner decision‐making; and (c) developing a prototype Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to conduct systemic pedestrian analysis and provide decision support. The outcome is a methodology to support systemic pedestrian safety efforts across the California State Highways System. The methodology is incorporated into a user‐friendly Excel prototype tool to conduct systemic pedestrian efforts analyses and identify safety improvements.
