City of Albert Lea Policy and Procedure Manual <br /> <br /> <br /> 10 <br />3. Traffic Signals <br /> <br />a. Traffic Signal <br />Traffic signals may be installed when warrants are met in accordance with the <br />MN MUTCD. <br /> <br />b. Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK) <br />Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons may be installed when warrants are met in <br />accordance with the MN MUTCD. <br /> <br />c. Flashing Beacons <br />Flashing beacons may be used based on engineering study as an enhancement <br />to a crossing. If used, consideration should be given to having them actuated, so <br />that they are only operating when pedestrians are present. <br /> <br />d. Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) <br />RRFBs may be used based on engineering study as an enhancement to a <br />crossing. When used, they shall be actuated, so that they are only operating <br />when pedestrians are present. <br /> <br />4. Roadway Features <br /> <br />a. Curb Extensions <br />Curb extensions or bulb-outs may be used based on engineering study to <br />shorten the length of the crosswalk and/or improve the sight distance of and for <br />the pedestrian. <br /> <br />b. Medians <br />Medians may be used based on engineering study on streets with two-way traffic <br />flow to allow for the pedestrian to cross one direction of traffic at a time and have <br />a safe refuge in the roadway. The minimum median width for pedestrian refuge <br />is 6 feet, but the design should be based on the pedestrian demand.
