• Abstract:
  This project consisted of two studies of pedestrian safety and operations at signalized intersections: (1) Safety Effects of Exclusive and Concurrent Signal Phasing for Pedestrian Crossing and (2) A Study of Pedestrian Compliance with Traffic Signals for Exclusive and Concurrent Phasing. Two published documents were generated. The focus of the project was on evaluating the effect of an operational characteristic – pedestrian signal phasing design. The authors evaluated the safety effects of two different types of pedestrian signal phasing in the context of several roadway and roadside characteristics.
