Resources and Scheduling Crosswalks are relatively inexpensive to install. Determining where to install them, on the other hand, could take months or longer. An informal traffic study can determine if the crosswalk program is enhancing pedestrian use and safety. Especially monitor locations of high potential pedestrian use. Review crash statistics on a regular basis.
Place crosswalks across full width of pavement.
Use crosswalks at all signalized intersections. Use crosswalks at non-signalized intersections with discretion. Place crosswalks in locations where they are visible and where they are not obscured by parked cars or signs. Illuminate mid-block crosswalks and consider using median refuges. Use special markings such as striped, or zebra, longitudinal lines or diagonal cross-hatching for added visibility and to emphasize a crossing.
