- Design treatments that improve pedestrian safety and increase compliance with crossing requirements include:
- Installing a HWAK signal beacon or a half signal
- Providing a maximum pedestrian delay of 30 – 60 seconds when using signalized treatments.
- Installing median refuge islands. Their presence can influence where pedestrians choose to cross.
- Using signs and visual cues to clearly indicate required motorist actions.
- Installing in-street signs that indicate a motorist must stop for and yield to pedestrians.
