Abstract

The article focuses on pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHB) introduced in the 1990s in the U.S. which has found success in reducing the number of pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. Topics covered include the reluctance of some transportation engineers to implement PHB despite its success, and the results of a research project to evaluate PHB by recording driver and pedestrian behaviors at existing sites.

Abstract

The article discusses the U.S. Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Evaluation of Pedestrian and Bicycle Engineering Countermeasures, a project which aimed to assess measures to increase pedestrian and bicyclist safety. The project studied several engineering countermeasures which include the pedestrian hybrid beacon, rectangular rapid-flashing beacon (RRFB), crosswalk markings as viewed by drivers, and shared lane markings for bicyclists.
