the time (in seconds) between vehicles crossing (regardless of direction of travel) the <br />proposed crosswalk location. An adequate gap is determined by dividing the roadway <br />width (in feet) by a walking rate of 3.5 feet per second (may be slower for a crossing <br />location serving elderly pedestrians) and adding 3 seconds of perception/reaction time. <br />4. Crosswalk Spacing <br />Marked crosswalks should be spaced a minimum of 500 feet from a protected or <br />marked crossing. <br />5. Crosswalk Control <br />The control for a marked crosswalk, including signing, pavement marking, traffic signals, <br />flashing beacons, etc. shall be determined by engineering study and should conform to <br />the MN MUTCD. <br />6. Traffic Signals <br />Marked crosswalks should be installed at signalized intersections in accordance with <br />the traffic signal design. <br />7. All Way Stops <br />Marked crosswalks should be considered at intersections with an all way stop control <br />where pedestrian crossings aren't specifically restricted. <br />8. Roundabouts <br />Marked crosswalks should be installed at roundabouts in accordance with the <br />roundabout engineering design. <br />STREET LIGHTING: <br />Street lighting should be installed at all crosswalk locations, based on engineering study <br />and City street lighting practice. <br />TREATMENTS <br />1. Pavement Markings <br />Pavement markings shall be in accordance with the Minnesota Manual on <br />Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MN MUTCD). <br />a. Crosswalks Markings <br />A typical marked crosswalk across an uncontrolled approach of an intersection includes <br />the following; <br />• Painted crosswalk markings, typically continental or block pattern <br />• Marked crosswalk signage, typically W11-2 with W16-7P <br />A typical marked crosswalk across a controlled approach of an intersection includes the <br />following; <br />• Painted crosswalk markings, typically continental or block pattern <br />
