摘要

The report presents the comparison of data collected at thirty-one (31) high pedestrian accident sections. It was found that all the sections were located along high volume arterial or collector roads; that the sections involved commercial areas in close proximity to residential areas; and that all the sections contained a high percentage of 'jaywalking' and general disregard of the traffic control devices by the pedestrians. Certain businesses located along these sections, i.e., convenience stores, fast food restaurants, and establishments that sell alcoholic beverages seem to generate hazardous crossing situations for the pedestrians. It was found that a relatively small number of roads statewide contain a high percentage of the State's pedestrian accidents. The ability to identify these roads offers the opportunity to develop and implement countermeasures that have the potential to make the roads safer for pedestrians. Vehicle speed reduction and signing aimed at both drivers and pedestrians could be the most effective approach to an overall safety program. Other types of engineering improvements will provide a safer walking environment for the pedestrians, but their effectiveness in reducing accidents is questionable unless there are changes in the pedestrians' crossing attitudes. Educational programs designed to better inform pedestrians are vital to the overall safety effort.
