Abstract

TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 137: Improving pedestrian and motorist safety along light rail alignments examines pedestrian and motorist behaviors contributing to light rail transit (LRT) safety and explores mitigating measures available designed to improve safety along LRT alignments. The report also includes suggestions to facilitate the compilation of accident data in a coordinated and homogeneous manner across LRT systems. Finally, the report provides a catalog of existing and innovative safety devices, safety treatments, and practices along LRT alignments. Appendices B through E of TCRP Report 137 were published as TCRP Web-Only Document 42 at http://www.trb.org/Publications/Blurbs/162667.aspx. (Author/publisher)
