Abstract:Safety is the number one priority for the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and it's the agency's policy to provide safe and effective pedestrian accommodation wherever possible. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) encourages the use of specific proven pedestrian safety countermeasures that can help achieve local, State and National safety goals. One of those countermeasures is the inclusion of raised medians. FHWA's Safety Office has promoted the evidence-based safety benefits of raised medians (or refuge areas). This flyer highlights three agencies that have implemented policies and plans that promote the inclusion of raised medians: the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
