AN ATTEMPT TO ENHANCE THE UTILITY OF ZEBRA CROSSING TO MINIMIZE THE COLLISION AT INTERSECTION

Abstract

A brief critical review and assessment of engineering modifications to the built environment that can reduce the risk of pedestrian injuries. In this paperreviewused the Transportation Research Information Services database to conduct a search for studies on engineering countermeasures documented in the scientific literature. This review classified countermeasures into 3 categories—speed control, separation of pedestrians from vehicles, and measures that increase the visibility and conspicuity of pedestrians. Also determined the measures and settings with the greatest potential for collision at intersection/ crash prevention.
