	X02.5 Pedestrian Street Crossings.
		Locating the pedestrian push buttons at some distance from the crosswalk, which is common now, makes it difficult for a pedestrian, particularly a blind pedestrian or a pedestrian using a mobility aid, to push the button and return to the crosswalk location in time for the walk phase.
		Advisory: While this is in contrast to the convention in visual street naming, where the street name is parallel to the street itself in order to be visible to drivers and pedestrians, it is not in contrast to visual signs adjacent to pedestrian push buttons which indicate which street is controlled by the push button.
		Because the pedestrian crosswalk is generally placed at least one car length from the entry point, in a location that is not immediately apparent to a blind or visually impaired pedestrian, a cue is needed for crosswalk location.

	Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, a street is characterized by the degree and quality of street life it facilitates, whereas a road serves primarily as a through passage for road vehicles or (less frequently) pedestrians.
		Street performers, beggars, patrons of sidewalk cafés, peoplewatchers, and a diversity of other characters are habitual users of a street; the same people would not typically be found on a road.
		In this view, pedestrian traffic is incidental to the street's purpose; a street consists of a thoroughfare running through the middle (in essence, a road), and may or may not have sidewalks along the sides.

	Car-free zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Central Copenhagen is one of the largest and oldest examples: the auto-free zone is centered on Strøget, a pedestrian shopping street, but it is in fact not a single street but a series of interconnected avenues which create a very large auto-free zone, although it is crossed in places by streets with vehicular traffic.
		Many pedestrian streets are surfaced with cobblestones, or pavement bricks, thus discouraging any kind of wheeled traffic, including wheelchairs.
		In 1997 there were about 30 pedestrian malls in the U.S. Some notable examples are Charlottesville, Virginia, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Oak Park, Illinois, the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California, the Main Street Pedestrian Mall in Buffalo, New York, Ithaca Commons in Ithaca, New York, the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado, St.

	PEDSAFE : crash analysis
		The pedestrian entered the roadway in front of stopped or slowed traffic and was struck by a multiple-threat vehicle in an adjacent lane after becoming trapped in the middle of the roadway.
		The pedestrian was struck by a vehicle while: (1) crossing in front of a commercial bus stopped at a bus stop; (2) going to or from a school bus stop; or (3) going to or from, or waiting near a commercial bus stop.
		The pedestrian was standing or walking near the roadway edge, on the sidewalk, in a driveway or alley, or in a parking lot, when struck by a vehicle.

	PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
		Pedestrians who are visually impaired develop a mental map and keep track of where they are within that map, usually by counting blocks and street crossings.
		It is therefore sometimes difficult for blind pedestrians to determine the direction of the audible pedestrian signal on the destination corner, even if the tone is highly localizable, because the tone coming from the destination corner is masked by the sound on the corner from which the pedestrian is starting the crossing.
		As long as a pedestrian is detected in the crosswalk, a preset extension is added to the pedestrian clearance interval, enabling later-starting or slower moving pedestrians to clear the intersection before vehicular traffic resumes.

	Planning: Plan Element: Transportation (Part 2)
		Street restripings and widenings may be appropriate in industrial areas where access for oversize freight vehicles is important, but these projects should not reduce or eliminate the efficient movement of transit vehicles and bicycles.
		Street design which is coordinated with transit routes improves the ability to comprehend the routing of lanes and the layout of the transit system.
		Streets and pathways in the bike route system that are relatively level, do not have conflicts with high volumes of pedestrian traffic, and do not have the primary functions of freight routes, major arterials and primary transit streets should be designed and treated to prioritize the movement of bicycles.

	How to Create a Pedestrian Mall
		Pedestrians use twenty times less space than an automobile, and are able to communicate and interact with one another as they travel.
		The most common form of a pedestrian zone in large cities is the pedestrian mall, a street lined with storefronts and closed off to most automobile traffic.
		Through many trials and quite a few errors, cities gradually established a standard protocol for creating pedestrian malls in their cities: The first step is generally to communicate with traders along potential car-free streets in order to educate them about other pedestrian malls and to build a working relationship in which concerns are easily addressed.

	Thurlow Street Pedestrian Amenity Improvements
		Thurlow Street south of Robson Street was identified in the DTP as primarily a residential street where pedestrian amenity could be improved, but which would also be retained as a major downtown circulation street.
		Pedestrian corner bulges help pedestrians because they narrow the road width at intersections, which reduces the pedestrian crossing distance and improves the visibility of pedestrians.
		The pedestrian bulges proposed for Thurlow Street are an important component of the plan and are consistent with the DTP vision of putting "pedestrians first".
