This booklet contains 13 examples of crossings between paths and roads. These examples are divided into eight groups: (1) path tunnels; (2) path bridges; (3) ordinary signal-controlled crossings; (4) crossings with a school patrol flashing a light; (5) ordinary pedestrian crossings; (6) other crossings where road traffic has a legal requirement to give way; (8) path junctions. Each example is based on a specific, implemented project, but details such as geometrical design, marking and planting of trees and shrubs, have been partly modified. Each example fills a folder. On the left side, the relevant assumptions are described; in every case, the reason for implementing the installation is discussed, and accident assumptions are also discussed where there are conversions. On the right side, the project is examined. Comments are made on any deviations from the directions in booklet V, and the project's most important results, especially the accident situation after its completion, are discussed. For each example, pictures are given of the crossing before and after the project's installation.
