The researchers conducted a comprehensive literature review to evaluate the current state of practice surrounding crash rates and severity at midblock crossings. They examined technical reports and publications from transportation agencies, FHWA, NCHRP, and peer-reviewed journals. Findings were synthesized into a detailed summary of risk factors, proven countermeasures, advanced analytics for site prioritization, and relevant case studies that support effective safety action planning. The research team compiled pedestrian safety and crash data from public and institutional sources—CRIS, state highway safety plans (HSIP, SHSP, HSP), Vision Zero strategies, and platforms like Replica and INRIX.
Pedestrian fatalities on high-speed, multi-lane roads in Texas, particularly in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas, highlight an urgent need for focused
