Adding crosswalks alone will not make crossings safer, result in more vehicles stopping for pedestrians, nor will they necessarily create a false sense of security. <br />2. Crosswalks have not been proven to create a false sense of security - research shows that pedestrians scan the road more at marked crosswalks. <br />3. Whether a crosswalk is marked or not, additional crossing enhancements should be considered. See the "Additional Treatment Considerations" section. <br />4. See MUTCD Section 3B.18 for additional guidance on using this table. <br />5. Lanes are total cross section. <br />2. Do not install a marked crosswalk where there are 3 or more through lanes per direction. Consider a pedestrian hybrid beacon, pedestrian traffic signal, or grade separated crossing. <br />3. Traffic calming measures should be considered to reduce speed. <br />4. If a median cannot be or is not currently installed go to Treatment Type D. <br />5. Minimum acceptable median width to provide a refuge is 6 feet. <br />Table 1: Pedestrian Facility Treatments <br />A. Consider marked crosswalk and signs <br />B. Consider marked crosswalk with enhanced signs (R1-6a or R1-9a R1-9b) and/or geometric improvements <br />C. Consider marked crosswalk with signs, geometric improvements, and pedestrian activated warning devices4 <br />D. Do not install marked crosswalk. 3 <br />Vehicle ADT ≤ 9000 Vehicle ADT > 9000 - 12,000 Vehicle ADT > 12,000 - 15,000 Vehicle ADT > 15,000Roadway Configuration1,5 <br /> Guidance: Consider installing marked crosswalk with advance warning signs (W11-2); use S1-1 signs for school crossings. Consider in-roadway (R1-6) or overhead (R1-9a) (R1-9b) signs. <br /> Guidance: Consider installing treatment options from Type A treatments. Add curb extensions or median refuge islands. <br /> Guidance: Consider installing a raised median refuge island if one is not present. Consider installing marked crosswalk and appropriate crossing signs along with a pedestrian activated <br /> Guidance: Consider pedestrian hybrid beacon, pedestrian traffic signal, or grade separated crossing. <br />1. Advanced stop lines and signing (R1-5b or c) should be used whenever possible if a multiple threat crash issue is present. Overhead signing, RRFBs or other overhead treatments should be used to mitigate <br />multiple threat crash risks. <br />Table 13-1 Pedestrian Facility Treatments
