Abstract

Two corridors were identified buy the Florida Department of Transportation as having a particularly high rate of alcohol-involved pedestrian accidents. This paper describes a study carried out with the aim of recommending possible engineering modifications or other interventions to reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. Both sites were major roads running through impoverished, residential neighbourhoods. Accident data and pedestrian and driver behaviour were examined. Few alcohol-related interventions were identified. The appproach chosen involved a number of traffic calming techniques to slow down the traffic and make it easier for pedestrians to cross.
