Step 2- Identify Alternative Solutions, lists advantages, disadvantages, target populations and locations, and implementation considerations for numerous countermeasures known to be effective in solving particular pedestrian safety problems. Step 3- Select the Best Alternative, describes a procedure for comparing anticipated benefits and costs of possible alternatives and selecting the best alternatives. Step 4-Implement Selected Alternative, discusses the organizational, scheduling, support, and financial aspects of developing a successful safety program. Step 5 - Evaluate Implemented Alternative, identifies methods for determining the effectiveness of implemented countermeasures. Step 6 - Maintain the Pedestrian Safety Program, is the feedback to Step 1. Continual watch of the safety situation must be maintained.
