The City will, at its discretion, use the W16-9p in street "Stop for Pedestrian in Crosswalk" sign at crosswalks near schools or at other high volume crossings. These signs shall be rotated around the City at various qualifying crosswalks. The City will not install "permanent" in street crosswalk signs. 3. Active Crosswalk Treatments (signals and flashers) a. Traffic Signal Traffic signals may be installed when warrants are met in accordance with the MN MUTCD. Signals must meet warrants as established by the agency with jurisdiction over the roadway. b. Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK) Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons are not candidate crosswalk treatments for roadways under the jurisdiction of the City of Roseville. c. Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) RRFBs may be used based on engineering study as an enhancement to a crossing. When used, they shall be actuated, so that they are only operating when pedestrians are present. Generally, RRFB's will only be used where there is a multi -lane threat, visibility is restricted, the crosswalk serves a school or regional/park trail crossing, or traffic volumes are in excess of 3,000 ADT on a City roadway. 4. Roadway Features a. Curb Extensions Curb extensions or bulb -outs may be used based on engineering study to shorten the length of the crosswalk and/or improve the sight distance of and for the pedestrian. These will be strongly considered for all mid -block crossings. b. Medians Medians may be used based on engineering study on streets with two-way traffic flow to allow for the pedestrian to cross one direction of traffic at a time and have a safe refuge in the roadway. The minimum median width for pedestrian refuge is 6 feet, but the design should be based on the pedestrian demand. Medians will be considered where there is sufficient space for the installation of a median (such as a center left turn lane) and volumes are in excess of 3,000 ADT on a City roadway.
