Abstract In 2005 more than 5,000 people were killed in pedestrian and bicycle motor-vehicle-related crashes. This compendium describes the pedestrian and bicyclist safety research conducted by the Office of Behavioral Safety Research and its predecessor organizations during the period 1969–2007. The compendium begins with a description of the structure and philosophy of the NHTSA pedestrian and bicycle research programs. It is followed by a section that describes the research on the development of taxonomies of crash types, since the results of that research formed the foundation for many of the subsequent NHTSA pedestrian and bicycle research studies. A chronological listing of major activities that occurred in the decades spanned by NHTSA’s pedestrian and bicyclist research programs is then presented. The final section discusses lessons learned from the pedestrian and bicycle research activities. Appendix A to this compendium contains abstracts of relevant research in a standardized format. Appendix B presents lists of pedestrian and bicyclist crash types as they have evolved over the years 17. Key Words 18.

  • An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of School Zone Flashers
    An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of School Zone Flashers Documents Prepared By: Safety Evaluation Group Traffic Safety Systems Management Section Traffic Engineering and Safety Systems Branch North Carolina Department of Transportation Principal Investigator _______________________________ __6/5/07________ Carrie L. Simpson, PE Date Traffic Safety Project Engineer Executive Summary This report summarizes the effectiveness of placing flashing beacons on school zone speed limit signs to improve speed compliance in school zones. A sample set of fifteen treatment school zones with flashers and fifteen comparison school zones without flashers were selected for analysis throughout North Carolina. Speed data was collected at all sites during the reduced speed school zone hours of operation (school time) and outside the reduced speed school zone hours of operation (non-school time). The school time speed limits at all sites ranged between 25 mph to 45 mph. An evaluation of the treatment and comparison sites yield the following results: x The speed distributions of both flasher and non-flasher locations were similar during the school time. It appears there was no practical difference in vehicle speeds between the flasher and non- flasher locations during school time hours. x At the flasher sites, 5.6 percent fewer vehicles exceeded the speed limit and average speeds were 0.4 mph less than the non-flasher sites during school time. The 85th percentile speed was 0.1 mph higher at the flasher locations and the pace speeds were the same during school time. x There was an 11.8 percent greater compliance to 35-mph or greater school time speed limits at flasher sites than non-flasher sites.

Abstract The purpose of this research was to apply the basic NHTSA pedestrian and bicyclist typologies to a sample of recent crashes and to refme and update the crash type distributions with particular attention to roadway and locational factors. Five thousand pedestrian- and 3,000 bicycle-motor vehicle crashes were coded in a population-based sample drawn from the States of California, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Utah. Nearly a third of the pedes­ trians were struck at or near (within 16 m (50 ft) of an intersection. Midblock events were the second major pedestrian crash type grouping, representing over a fourth (26 percent) of all crashes.

Under External Reference Documents, updated references. Section 2: Revised controlling criteria per FHWA guidance for Design Exceptions, Waivers, and Variances. Reduced controlling criteria from 13 to 10. Under Design Exceptions, added guidance that 4' minimum width is required for new bike lanes. Widths less than 4' will require a design exception. Under Design Exceptions, added guidance that design exceptions for bridge rails shall be sent to Bridge Division. Under Design Waivers, removed "non-controlling criteria for the" from introductory sentence. Under Design Waivers, removed requirement for copy of documentation being furnished to Design Division. Under Design Waivers, added "Shared Use Paths (if this is the chosen Bicycle/Ped facility)" to 4R. Under Special Facilities, moved sentence "Design waivers are not applicable…" to the bottom of the section.

  • Appendix A: SRF Pedestrian Traffic Control Assessment
    Grand Forks, ND Appendix A: SRF Pedestrian Traffic Control Assessment CPS, Ltd. APPENDIX Draft Memorandum SRF No. 0179294 To: Alex Zikmund, Engineer CPS, Ltd. From: Sara Schmidt, EIT, Senior Analyst Jacob Nordick, P.E. (MN, ND), Principal Date: May 17, 2017 Subject: South Columbia Road Pedestrian Traffic Control Assessment Background SRF Consulting Group, Inc. has completed a pedestrian traffic control assessment along South Columbia Road between 40th Avenue South and 47th Avenue South in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Discovery Elementary School opened in the fall of 2015 and is located on 40th Avenue South west of South Columbia Road. This school serves students that live on both the east and west side of South Columbia Road. Currently students walking or biking to school utilize the traffic signal at 40th Avenue South to cross South Columbia Road. On average, approximately 30 students were found to walk/bike to school in the Discovery School Survey on Modes of Transportation that was conducted by the City of Grand Forks. The number of residential developments in the project area are increasing and with this comes more vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The City of Grand Forks requested the pedestrian traffic control assessment to determine the most appropriate location and pedestrian traffic control method along this segment of South Columbia Road. Existing Conditions South Columbia Road is currently a 2-lane undivided urban roadway that has been functionally classified as a principal arterial with a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour (mph). Adjacent land uses are residential, educational, and recreational. There are no sidewalks along South Columbia Road within the project area.
