SPR-4301: Assessment of an Offset Pedestrian Crossing for Multilane Arterials

This study will investigate an innovative crossing solution that offsets pedestrian and bicycle crossings from the intersection, with the hope that it will potentially improve pedestrian safety (due to fewer potential conflicts with turning vehicles) and vehicle service. The proposed project will potentially benefit all major four-lane roadways that have to contend with pedestrian traffic interactions.
