• Abstract:
  This guidebook is designed to enable practitioners at all levels of government to select the most cost-effective pedestrian-safety treatments for a wide variety of Texas contexts and reverse the rise in pedestrian deaths on Texas roadways. It provides a framework for prioritizing problematic intersections and corridors, analyzing the impact of relevant treatments (as cataloged in Appendix A) and identifying the resulting benefit-cost ratio and expected reduction in crashes.
