School Crossing Study: <br /> A school crossing /gap study was conducted on December 17, 1997 at the Progress Road school <br /> crossing. This study was conducted using the procedures described in A Program For School <br /> Crossing Protection a recommended practice by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The <br /> primary objective of this study is to determine if some additional level of control is needed at the <br /> crossing point. Additional levels of control may include crossing guards, pedestrian actuated <br /> signals, school crossing flashers or moving of the crossing point to another location. Based on the <br /> data collected additional levels of control at this crossing point would only be needed if and when the <br /> percent of pedestrian delay time reaches 76 percent. During the four Gap Study periods the percent <br /> of pedestrian delay at this crossing ranged from 28 to 51 percent. The percent of pedestrian delay <br /> and the additional control needed line are shown in the chart below. <br /> Percent of Pedestrian Delay Chart, CSAH 14 Main St. at Progress Rd. <br /> 100 100 <br /> so 90 <br /> so Additional Controls Needed at 76% Pedestrian Delay SO <br /> 70 70 <br /> 60 60 <br /> s0 50 <br /> 40 <br /> 3D 30 <br /> 1D 10 <br /> 0 0 <br /> AM Gap Study 1 AM Gap Study 2 PM Gap Study 1 PM Gap Study 2 <br /> r.
