PEDESTRIAN ROAD CROSSING SAFETY. CPL BIBLIOGRAPHY 331/332/333

Designing for pedestrian road crossing safety is a complex process. Some of the issues to be considered are the design and engineering of the immediate crossing points and surrounding area, the characteristics of the pedestrians and contextural issues such as the political and legal environments. This annotated bibliography presents resources covering these areas and includes specific topics such as traffic and pedestrian signals, geometric features that enhance pedestrian safety, traffic calming through environmental design, aids for the disabled, overcrossings and undercrossings, the effect of various planning philosophies on pedestrian safety and state and federal programs currently in use.
