abstract="Treatment measures for providing better information on pedestrian crossing are discussed. The analysis suggests that on higher-volume multilane streets, better warnings of the presence of pedestrians crossing should be provided. In order to improve the safety of the crosswalks low-cost signing and striping techniques currently used by agencies proves to be effective treatment. Higher-cost geometric design features such as curb extensions and pedestrian refuge islands can be used to improve the safety of crosswalks. It was also suggested that removing uncontrolled merked crosswalks from higher-volume multilane facilities seems to reduce the collision rates.   <p>Language: en</p>",
