Severity distribution of pedestrian collisions for marked and unmarked crosswalks. <br /> <br />LIGHTING AND TIME OF DAY <br /> <br />Nighttime pedestrian crash percentages were about the same at marked and unmarked crosswalks <br />(approximately 30 percent). In terms of time of day, the percentage of pedestrian crashes in marked <br />crosswalks tended to be higher than for unmarked crosswalks during the morning (6 to 10 a.m.) and <br />afternoon (3 to 7 p.m.) peak periods, but lower in the midday (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and evening (7 p.m. to <br />midnight) periods (figure 24). This is probably because pedestrians are more likely to cross in marked <br />crosswalks than in unmarked crossings during peak traffic periods (e.g., walking to and from work) than <br />at other times. As shown in figure 25, little difference is noticeable between pedestrian collisions for <br />marked and unmarked crosswalks with respect to light condition. However, it is apparent that adequate <br />nighttime lighting should be provided at marked crosswalks to enhance the safety of pedestrians crossing <br />at night. <br /> 44
