Roundabouts Great formula for moving cars
Sidewalks shall be separated for way finding. • Where pedestrian crossings are more than one lane, pedestrian-activated signals shall be provided.
Once the crossing location is found Identifying gaps with no visual cues Multi-threat crash is large issue for large RBTs
Crossings Detectable warnings at crossings and splitters
Crossings Detectable warnings at crossings and splitters
Crossings Raised Crosswalks may help
Single-Lane • Single-lane are a little simpler to navigate
Multi-Lane • Multi-lane need signalization
RRF Beacon? Still Need Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) This is not an APS
HAWK Sequence 1 4 Blank for drivers Steady red 2 5 Flashing yellow Wig-Wag 3 Returnto 1 Steady yellow
Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) Locator tone then walk indication
PROWAG will likely require the following: • …there shall be a continuous and detectable edge treatment (not DWS) along the street side of the walkway wherever pedestrian crossing is not intended… • …at roundabouts with multi-lane crossings, a pedestrian activated ‘signal’ (with APS) shall be provided for each multi-lane segment… • …where pedestrian crosswalks are provided at multi-lane right or left channelized turn lanes at roundabouts, a pedestrian activated ‘signal’ (with APS) shall be provided…
