  1. Pedestrian Safety Master Plan

  2. This Presentation • Similarities and Differences with Other Areas • No Magic Bullet • Site, Corridor Specific • Multiple, Complementary Strategies

  3. Similarities & Differences Climate & Geography Orlando San Diego

  4. Similarities & Differences Austin, TX Orlando, FL

  5. Similarities & Differences Yielding Motorists

  6. No Magic Bullet Motorist Education & Enforcement Pedestrian Education & Enforcement Sidewalks Medians Lighting HAWK Signal Pedestrian Signal Median Refuge Island Pedestrian Overpass or Underpass Crossing Flags Advanced Stop Bars Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon Yield to Pedestrians Signs In-Roadway Pedestrian Signs No Turn on Red Radar Speed Trailers Leading Pedestrian Interval "Look" Pavement Stencils High Visibility Crosswalks Pedestrian Countdown Signals Confirmation Call Buttons Automated Pedestrian Detection Activated Flashing Beacons Dynamic Lighting

  7. High Speed Motorist Education & Enforcement Pedestrian Education & Enforcement Sidewalks Medians Lighting HAWK Signal Pedestrian Signal Median Refuge Island Pedestrian Overpass or Underpass Crossing Flags Advanced Stop Bars Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon Yield to Pedestrians Signs In-street Pedestrian Signs No Turn on Red Radar Speed Trailers Leading Pedestrian Interval "Look" Pavement Stencils High Visibility Crosswalks Pedestrian Countdown Signals Confirmation Call Buttons Automated Pedestrian Detection Activated Flashing Beacons Dynamic Lighting

  8. Medium/Low Speed Motorist Education & Enforcement Pedestrian Education & Enforcement Sidewalks Medians Lighting HAWK Signal Pedestrian Signal Median Refuge Island Pedestrian Overpass or Underpass Crossing Flags Advanced Stop Bars Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon Yield to Pedestrians Signs In-Roadway Pedestrian Signs No Turn on Red Radar Speed Trailers Leading Pedestrian Interval "Look" Pavement Stencils High Visibility Crosswalks Pedestrian Countdown Signals Confirmation Call Buttons Automated Pedestrian Detection Activated Flashing Beacons Dynamic Lighting

  9. HAWK* Signal Beacon Flashing Yellow: Prepare to Stop Steady Red: Stop, Yield Flashing Red: Yield, Proceed If Clear None: Proceed * High-intensity Activated crossWalK

  10. RRFB Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon Yielding in St. Pete increased from single digits to over 80%

  11. Dynamic Lighting Supplements RRFB Lights crosswalk and pedestrian Can attract pedestrians to the crossing

  12. What Others Are Doing

  13. What Others Are Doing

  14. What Others Are Doing

  15. Our Problem Areas 53% of crashes and 81% of fatalities occurred on roads with 4 or more lanes 36% of crashes on multi-lane roads without medians; 65% of fatalities Median distance of crossing pedestrian crash to nearest traffic signal = 1/10th mile Median & Refuge Island Needs Tier I Tier II Programmed

  16. Our Problem Areas 10% of crashes and 33% of fatalities occurred on multi-lane roads without street lighting Intersection improvements and high-emphasis crossings for other crash concentrations Lighting Needs

  17. Pedestrian Safety Joint Subcommittee Members from: Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee Citizens Advisory Committee Management & Operations Subcommittee Community Traffic Safety Teams FDOT Lynx

  18. Complementary Strategies Motorist at fault = 35% 10% at marked crosswalks 3.5% at driveways 6.3% other motorist failure to yield 6% of fatalities involved motorist failure to yield at intersection Enforcement of Motorist Yielding

  19. Complementary Strategies Enforcement supports and complements engineering

  20. Complementary Strategies Other Complementary Efforts FDOT Sidewalk Gaps Local Government Sidewalk Gaps Metro area crash database Pedestrian Safety & Mobility Assessment Tool -- applied to PD&Es

  21. Action Plan Components Identify priorities and funding sources for engineering countermeasures -- Into TIP Change area driving culture through enforcement and education; 5-year effort Coordinate engineering efforts with enforcement/education efforts Monitor performance with field observations and crash data

  22. Enforcement/Education Train local officers in crosswalk enforcement strategies Supplement with targeted education to motorists and pedestrians Monitor for effectiveness; 18 months Coordinate with engineering efforts Funding to Bike-Walk Central Florida
