  Pedestrian Crosswalk Safety
Data is given on the number of pedestrians interviewed, their gender and age, the average number of times they used the crosswalk per week, and whether they had had or had seen an accident or near-miss involving a pedestrian at the crosswalk.
The evaluation was based on measurements of the behavior of drivers and pedestrians using the crosswalk, opinions of the pedestrians using the crosswalk and the conspicuity of the crosswalk to unwarned drivers.
Accident statistics were not collected as part of the evaluation because study of the accident data in the area of the crosswalk, from 1996 to 1998, indicated that the number of accidents occurring during the evaluation period was likely to be insufficient to reach a reliable conclusion.

 PEDSAFE: Zebra Crosswalk Markings
Incremental improvements to crosswalk design and increase of aggressive driving throughout New York City created a situation where the crosswalk marking used to delineate safe walk-to-school routes (the MUTCD “ladder”) was the same as the marking for dangerous intersections, sending a conflicting message to school children and others using the city’s sidewalks.
The “zebra” crosswalk is an adaptation of the ladder, which has two 305 mm (12 in) lines running the length of the crosswalk that close each end of the 305 mm (12 in) bars.
Crosswalks in New York City are defined by law as the extension of the sidewalk across the road.

 How the LightGuard System Works
The LightGuard System alerts motorists that they are approaching an occupied crosswalk using amber LED flashing lights embedded in the roadway surface on both sides of a crosswalk facing oncoming traffic.
The driver, when approaching the crosswalk, is to slow their vehicle speed and look for pedestrian activity in the crosswalk.
If there is a pedestrian either waiting at the crosswalk’s entrance to cross or crossing in the crosswalk, the driver is to yield and allow the pedestrian to cross before proceeding.

 Crosswalk Warning System Evaluation
The In-Pavement Flashing Lights Crosswalk Warning System’s purpose was to warn the driving public of the presence of pedestrians in the crosswalk at uncontrolled intersections.
The concept of flashing amber lights embedded in the pavement at uncontrolled crosswalks clearly has a positive effect in enhancing a driver’s awareness of crosswalks and modifying driver habits to be more favorable to pedestrians.

 Legally Speaking - with Bob Mionske: When is a crosswalk not a crosswalk?
Because the intersection is not painted as a crosswalk, it is not a crosswalk.
Therefore, because the entire trail is the functional equivalent of a sidewalk at the intersection, the crossing is legally a crosswalk, whether or not the crosswalk is indicated with paint.
Whether the removal of the paint at the crosswalks results in cyclists being treated differently than motorists in a manner that is an unconstitutional violation of the equal protection clauses of the Minnesota and United States Constitutions.

 Crosswalk flagged for move: 01-31-2003
The crosswalk, which connects the B-1 parking lot with central Grounds, will be moved in the next six to eight weeks.
The crosswalk is near a city bus stop and the point where westbound traffic splits into two lanes.
Moving the crosswalk east, so it lines up with the stairs leading to New Cabell Hall, distances it from the bus stop and the split in lanes, so pedestrians would only cross two lanes of traffic.
