Abstract:The Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) Crosswalk is a type of traffic control system, used to aid pedestrians safely crossing the street and to regulate traffic flow. This study examined the success of the first PHB installed in the state of Vermont. The project location in Colchester, VT, is an area noted for its high traffic flow, as it connects the Fanny Allen Hospital to several travel destination points across VT Route 15. By measuring yielding compliance, approach speed and advance speed, this study seeks to monitor the safety and success of the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Crosswalk over a three-year period. The effectiveness of the HAWK Crosswalk System is supported by the visual inspection and photographic evidence gathered during the recent site visit. The project has been observed to be preforming well, and it has increased pedestrian safety and driver compliance in the crosswalk.
