摘要

Collisions involving pedestrians in crosswalks commonly result in fatalities. In-pavement flashing warning lights have been proposed as a means of increasing the conspicuity of pedestrians in crosswalks. However these warning light systems are more expensive to install than conventional striping. This report describes work undertaken to determine the relative effects on pedestrian and driver behavior of high visibility marking and an in-pavement flashing warning light system installed on a crosswalk site in Denville, New Jersey. Comparisons of the same crosswalk before and after striping and after installation of the in-pavement flashing warning lights enable the relative benefits of these actions to be determined. From the data collected it is concluded that high visibility marking of a crosswalk enhances the noticeability of the crosswalk and reduces conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles but does not reduce the mean speed at which vehicles approach the crosswalk or the mean number of vehicles passing over the crosswalk while a pedestrian is waiting to cross. Adding an in-pavement flashing warning light system to a crosswalk that is already clearly striped further enhances the noticeability of the crosswalk, reduces the mean speed at which vehicles approach the crosswalk, and reduces the mean number of vehicles that pass over the crosswalk while a pedestrian is waiting. However, it was also observed that the impacts of adding an in-pavement flashing warning light system to a crosswalk that is already clearly striped tends to diminish over time. The experimental procedure, collected data and observations, and recommendations for the future use of in-pavement flashing warning light signals at crosswalks are presented.
