• Abstract:
  The research team conducted a thorough review of the state of the art and state of the practice of complete street pedestrian and bicycle safety countermeasures. They developed a thorough review of techniques used to compute crash modification factors for safety countermeasures, including signal operations strategies. They produced a discussion of thirty-seven safety countermeasures showing likely safety impacts, incremental delay impacts and estimated costs for each. They estimated incremental delay for the countermeasures through an extensive micro-simulation experiment. Three thousand six hundred simulation runs were performed using ranges of intersection configurations, traffic demands and pedestrian volumes.
