Abstract

This paper is based on the results of comprehensive studies of pedestrian delay and safety at a range of crossing locations in the United Kingdom over a period of ten years from 1979. In the United Kingdom, where there is no legal requirement preventing a pedestrian crossing the carriageway at any location; Zebra and Pelican crossings are installed to assist pedestrians at mid block. At junctions a pedestrian stage may be provided on one or more arms provided the traffic capacity at the junction is not exceeded. More recent developments including the use of speed humps or reduced carriageways width at crossing locations, and facilities based on pedestrian detection using infra red or pressure sensitive pads are briefly described within the paper.
