Monograph

This issue contains 18 papers that are concerned with pedestrians. Specific topics addressed include: the safety of shared pedestrian and vehicle space; the impacts of yield sign placement on pedestrian safety; pedestrian-vehicle conflicts at stop-controlled t-intersections; an evaluation of pedestrian safety in support of complete streets policy implementation; walkability indicators for pedestrian-friendly design; driver yielding to pedestrians at unsignalized crosswalks; and pedestrian protection airbags. In addition, the papers address: driver and pedestrian behaviors at enhanced, multilane, midblock pedestrian crossings; the influence of light rail, built environment, and residential self-selection on pedestrian travel; pedestrian and bicyclist compliance and safety impacts of walk modes at signalized intersections; the long-term impact of California Safe Routes to School program; and the impact of intersection design on pedestrians' choice to cross on red. Finally, the papers cover: a data-driven approach to coordinating engineering, education and enforcement; a planning-level model for assessing pedestrian safety; walking behaviors by trip purposes; a perception-based walkability index to test the impact of microlevel walkability on sustainable mode choice decisions; far-side audible beaconing of accessible pedestrian signals; and driver detection of pedestrians beyond flashing beacons within sign assembly.
