Pedestrian Engineering and Enforcement at Signalized Intersections

The Stop For Me campaign in St. Paul has been proven successful to improve driver yielding rates at unsignalized intersections. Our most serious pedestrian crash problems are at signalized intersections. This study would look to expand the model that was studied for unsignalized intersections and apply it to signalized areas. Cities are interested in this approach and would be able to host this project in their city.
