Beyond the Crosswalk Page 5 Definitions.— (6) CROSSWALK‐‐ (a) That part of a roadway at an intersection included within the connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on opposite sides of the highway, measured from the curbs or, in the absence of curbs, from the edges of the traversable roadway. (b) Any portion of a roadway at an intersection or elsewhere distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface. (47) SIDEWALK— That portion of a street between the curb line, or the lateral line, of a roadway and the adjacent property lines, intended for use by pedestrians. June 2013 Beyond the Crosswalk Page 6 3 6/18/2013 June 2013 8.3.3 Beyond the Crosswalk Page 7 Crosswalks Occur at all intersections, whether or not marked, and on any portion of a roadway distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface. Reasonable accommodation should be made to make crossings both convenient and safe, and minimize the pedestrian’s exposure in the roadway. June 2013 Beyond the Crosswalk Page 8 4 6/18/2013 8.3.3.1 Crosswalks at Intersections As volume, speed and number of travel lanes increase, marked crosswalks are best used in conjunction with other treatments: Signals, signs, beacons, curb extensions, raised medians, refuge islands and enhanced overhead lighting June 2013 8.3.3.1 Beyond the Crosswalk Page 9 Crosswalks at Intersections (con.) Supplement marked crosswalks on an uncontrolled leg of an intersection: Where posted speeds are greater than 40 mph 4 or more lanes without a raised median or raised traffic island and an ADT of 12,000 or greater 4 or more lanes with a raised median or raised traffic island and has or is projected to have (within 5 years) an ADT of 15,000 or greater June 2013 Beyond the Crosswalk Page 10 5 6/18/2013 8.3.3.2Midblock Crosswalks Can be used to supplement the pedestrian crossing needs between intersections Provides pedestrians with a more direct route to their destination Should be illuminated, marked and signed in accordance with the MUTCD, Traffic Engineering Manual (Section 3.8) and Index 17346, Design Standards June 2013 Beyond the Crosswalk Page 11 Alys Beach, Walton County June 2013 Beyond the Crosswalk Page 12 6 6/18/2013 June 2013 Beyond the Crosswalk Page 13 Beyond the Crosswalk Page 14 Lake Hollingsworth, Lakeland June 2013 7 6/18/2013 PPM ‐ All side street pedestrian crosswalks shall be marked when there is a sidewalk.
