Development of Statewide Design Guidelines for Improving Pedestrian Safety on High-Speed Arterials in Louisiana

This proposed research aims mainly to develop a statewide guideline on the provision of pedestrian facilities on Louisiana’s high-speed arterials, recommend which pedestrian facilities or countermeasures will be appropriate to improve pedestrian safety for various roadway characteristics, and make a proposal to modify, as necessary, DOTD’s complete streets policy and relevant Engineering Directives and Standards Manuals (EDSMs). These goals are going to be achieved by the completion of seven primary tasks.
