Publisher's Synopsis
Pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-motorist road users account for a growing share of all U.S. traffic fatalities. Pedestrian and bicycle safety continue to be a focus area under the Federal Highway Administration's Focused Approach to Safety. Chapter 1 contains wide ranging topics related to pedestrian and bicyclist safety and access to transit. Chapter 2 presents foundational principles for planning and designing intersections for pedestrians and bicyclists and design concepts for each of the intersection types. Chapter 3 helps generate objective descriptors of non-motorist crash types, location context, and other crash circumstances, which in turn can be used to inform crash and injury prevention strategies.
