The purpose of this research was to apply the basic National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) pedestrian and bicyclist typologies to a sample of recent crashes and to refine and update the crash type distributions with particular attention to roadway and locational factors. Five thousand pedestrian-motor vehicle crashes and 3,000 bicycle-motor vehicle crashes were coded in a population-based sample drawn from the states of California, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Utah. Future safety considerations should be systemwide and include an examination of intersections and other junctions, well designed facilities, and increased awareness of pedestrians and bicyclists by motor vehicle drivers.
This pedestrian crash type informational guide is a supplement to a research report entitled, "Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Types of the Early 1990's" (FHWA-RD-95-163). The purpose of the research was to apply the basic National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) pedestrian and bicyclist typologies to a sample of recent crashes and to refine and update the crash type distributions with particular attention to roadway and locational factors. Five thousand pedestrian- and 3,000 bicycle-motor vehicle crashes were coded in a population-based sample drawn from the States of California, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Utah. This particular informational guide provides detail on specific pedestrian-motor vehicle crash types (e.g., intersection dash) through two-page layouts that contain a sketch, description, and summary of the crash type, various graphs, and "bullet" information boxes.
One out of 6 highway fatalities in the U.S. is a pedestrian or bicyclist each year. This guide is the result of a research study that applied basic pedestrian & bicycle typologies to a sample of pedestrian- & bicycle-motor vehicle crashes from 6 States with the purpose of refining & updating the crash type distributions. Attention was given to roadway & locational factors in order to identify situations where engineering, educational, &/or regulatory countermeasures might be effectively implemented to reduce the frequency of the crashes. This guide should be of interest to pedestrian & bicycle coord., transport. planners & engineers involved in safety & risk mgmt.
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 672: Roundabouts: An Informational Guide - Second Edition explores the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of roundabouts. The report also addresses issues that may be useful in helping to explain the trade-offs associated with roundabouts. This report updates the U.S. Federal Highway Administration's Roundabouts: An Informational Guide, based on experience gained in the United States since that guide was published in 2000.
This bicycle crash type informational guide is a supplement to the research report FHWA-RD-95-163 entitled, "Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Types of the Early 1990's" (Hunter, Stutts, Pein, and Cox, 1995). The purpose of the research was to apply the basic National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) pedestrian and bicyclist typologies to a sample of recent crashes and to refine and update the crash type distributions with particular attention to roadway and locational factors. Five thousand pedestrian- and 3,000 bicycle-motor vehicle crashes were coded in a population-based sample drawn from the States of California, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Utah. The bicycle-motor vehicle crash types distributed as: (1) parallel path events - 36%, (2) crossing path events - 57%, and (3) specific circumstances - 6%. This particular informational guide provides detail on specific bicycle-motor vehicle crash types (e.g., motorist left turn facing the cyclist) through two-page layouts that contain a sketch, description and summary of the crash type, various graphs, and "bullet" information boxes. A similar informational guide (FHWA-RD-96-163) is available for pedestrian-motor vehicle crashes.
This guide is intended to provide information on how to identify safety and mobility needs for pedestrians with the roadway right-of-way. Useful for engineers, planners, safety professionals and decision-makers, the guide covers such topics as: the Walking Environment including sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, roadway lighting and pedestrian over and under passes; Roadway Design including bicycle lanes, roadway narrowing, reducing the number of lanes, one-way/two-way streets, right-turn slip lanes and raised medians; Intersections with roundabouts, T-intersections and median barriers; and Traffic calming designs.
