- On a four-lane divided highway, a pedestrian who crosses in front of a stopped vehicle is exposed to a higher risk of being struck by a second vehicle traveling in the adjacent lane.
- Designs can incorporate advance yield/stop lines, signs, beacons, raised median islands, and other countermeasures to increase driver compliance and improve the pedestrian’s visibility and conspicuousness.
- The full HFG entry (linked in the title) provides a detailed task breakdown of risks to pedestrians crossing in a multiple threat scenario.
