<br />Traffic Control Devices <br /> <br />Painted Crosswalks <br /> <br />Purpose <br />Provide a designated, marked location <br />for pedestrians to cross residential <br />street and make drivers more aware <br />of potential pedestrian confiicts. <br /> <br /> <br />Effects <br />Volumes No effect <br />Speed No effect <br />Traffic Noise and Air No effect <br />Traffic Safety Research has shown that marked crosswalks at uncontrolled intersection are <br /> unrelated to pedestrian safety. <br />Advantages . Reasonably effective at identifying locations with potential pedestrian conflicts. <br /> . Helps to concentrate pedestrian activities at specific intersection and on specific <br /> legs of intersections. <br />Disadvantages . At uncontrolled intersections, appears to create a false sense of security in <br /> pedestrians - the 8" white line with stop the oncoming 4,000 pound vehicle. <br /> . Costly to maintain <br /> . Not required to establish legal cross-walk locations. <br />Problems Targeted . Concentrating pedestrian crossing activities, particularly when combined with <br /> other strategies such as advanced warning signs, systems of sidewalks, <br /> enforcement, etc. <br />Design . Marking cross walks is not necessary to establish legal crossing locations and <br /> is unrelated to pedestrian safety. <br /> 'Marked crosswalks may be part of a program to designate walking routes and <br /> concentrate pedestrian crossings when combined with other strategies. <br /> <br />APRIL 2005 <br /> <br />21 <br />
