TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2393 consists of 20 papers that examine an analysis of pedestrian performance in shared-space environments; using a smartphone application to support visually impaired pedestrians; pedestrian–vehicle traffic conflicts; automated classification of pedestrian gender and age; driver compliance with pedestrian yield right-of-way laws; and development of the Canadian Pedestrian Crossing Control Guide. This issue of the TRR also explores how social paths can improve pedestrian accessibility to light rail; evaluation of pedestrian weaving zones; pedestrian safety issues; improving cyclist and pedestrian environment while maintaining vehicle throughput; the effect of left-turn operational mode on pedestrian safety; pedestrian crash hot spots and risk factors for injury severity; and pedestrian red-time crossing behavior. In addition, issues covered in this TRR include integrating bicycling and walking facilities into urban infrastructure; the cost of complete streets; effect of advance yield markings and symbolic signs on vehicle–pedestrian conflicts; effectiveness of audible and tactile heading cues at complex intersections; results from roadway design survey of San Francisco Bay area pedestrians, drivers, bicyclists, and transit users; pedestrian crash risk on boundary roadways; and sight distance for disabled pedestrians at crossings.
