Abstract Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. The risks to pedestrians crossing at uncontrolled locations are much higher than at signalized intersections. There has been an increasing trend in pedestrian deaths during the past decade. Specifically, pedestrian fatality as percent of total fatalities indicates an increasing trend in a ten-year period from 2005 to 2014. Several research projects funded by both federal and state transportation agencies have attempted to identify effective strategies for improving pedestrian safety within their jurisdictions. However, very little research was conducted on pedestrian safety at uncontrolled locations in Illinois. The objectives of the project were to identify the best practices of approving pedestrian crossings and pedestrian-crossing treatments at uncontrolled locations and to develop procedures and guidelines to be used by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and local agencies. To achieve the research goal, the team conducted a comprehensive literature review of related studies and existing guidelines, a survey and interview of Illinois transportation engineers, statistical analysis of Illinois pedestrian-crash data from 2010 to 2014, and a field review of selected high-crash corridors (HCC) in Illinois. This study identified several common issues associated with the high-pedestrian-crash-prone roads, e.g., speeding, poor lighting, noncompliance with posted signage, inadequate or missing signage, or lack of conspicuity. Several geometric features were also proven to be related to pedestrian crashes; for instance, long crossing distances, insufficient sight distance, and inappropriate placement of bus stops and parking were proved to affect pedestrian safety. In addition, pedestrian-crossing treatments were classified into five categories in the study, and their effectiveness and suitable conditions were assessed and identified. Based on the research findings, a guidebook was compiled with a comprehensive discussion of strategies and treatments to enhance pedestrian safety at uncontrolled locations. The target audiences for this guidebook are transportation professionals, highway designers, traffic engineers, law enforcement officers, and safety specialists who may be involved in efforts to reduce pedestrian crashes at uncontrolled locations. 17.

The objectives of the proposed project were to identify the best practices of approving pedestrian crossings and pedestrian-crossing treatments at uncontrolled locations and to develop procedures and guidelines to be used by Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and local agencies for appropriate deployment of crosswalks and other treatments. A plethora of research has been conducted to identify the effectiveness of treatments aimed at improving pedestrian safety. In particular, many treatments have been studied at crosswalk locations. Although many of these research findings have been included in state and national design guidelines and policies, most of this support focuses on crosswalks where vehicles are controlled by traffic signals. There exists a need to provide transportation engineers with guidance about the best practices for locating and selecting treatments for pedestrian crossings at uncontrolled locations. Approving pedestrian crossings at dangerous locations can cause safety problems for pedestrians and liability issues for the approving agencies. Recommending inappropriate pedestrian-crossing treatments at uncontrolled locations can also cause pedestrian-safety problems and inefficient use of public funds. This research project was conducted by researchers at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and Auburn University, for the Illinois Department of Transportation and through the Illinois Center for Transportation. The overarching goal was to improve the location and implementation decisions related to pedestrian crossings at uncontrolled locations in Illinois. A key product of this study is a guidebook intended for use by transportation engineers at the state, county, and local level, throughout Illinois. The researchers first reviewed published literature on pedestrian safety and the effectiveness of various practices. Next, they interviewed transportation engineers in various IDOT districts and surveyed engineers who design crosswalks for Illinois counties and/or local municipalities. After that, an analysis of pedestrian-crash data in Illinois was completed; and locations with high crash rates were visited and reviewed. Last, the researchers combined all these findings into a guidelines document. This study was conducted over about two years, between August 2015 and August 2017. The primary product of this project are the proposed guidelines, included as Appendix A of this document. Implementing these recommended practices can improve pedestrian safety by guiding transportation engineers to approve crossings only at locations capable of providing adequate pedestrian safety. Additionally, the guidelines will provide those engineers with direction about which treatments are most appropriate for a particular location, facilitating application of the research results in practice. IDOT customers will benefit from improved pedestrian safety and increased design consistency for pedestrian-crossing treatments. Although these guidelines could suggest particular crosswalks

    MORGAN COUNTY Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan PARTICIPANTS Chapin, Village of Morgan County Franklin, Village of Murrayville, Village of Jacksonville, City of South Jacksonville, Village of Meredosia, Village of Woodson, Village of March 2014 The five year update of this Plan must be completed on or before May 12, 2019. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Developing the first Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan for Morgan County and the participating municipalities involved input from many people. All of these contributions have helped to make this Plan the definitive source of information on natural hazards, their impacts, and the various options to eliminate or reduce these impacts on current and future generations. Information from government sources has been supplemented by photographs and weather data from personal collections. Morgan County and Scott County share many commonalities. In 1823 Morgan County was organized from part of Greene County and its original boundaries included Scott and Cass Counties. Scott County was later formed from part of Morgan County in 1839. Both Counties are bordered by the Illinois River on the west. The spirit of cooperation and sharing forged between these two counties resulted in both working together throughout this planning process. The Morgan & Scott Counties Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Planning Committee was organized to represent the various jurisdictions and interests in both counties. Although they worked together by participating in the same planning meetings and sharing discussions on similar topics, each County developed separate, independent Plans. Each Plan reflects the differences in severe weather history and specific approaches to reducing potential impacts. Identifying, verifying, and gathering information about severe weather events involves research into various files and discussions with individuals.
