STUDY OF PUBLIC PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS

THIS REPORT REVIEWS THE PROGRESS MADE IN THE REDUCTION OF PEDESTRIAN HAZARDS AT RAILROAD RIGHTS-OF-WAY. IT IS ALSO POINTED OUT THAT CYCLISTS, WHETHER RIDING OR WALKING THEIR VEHICLES, PRESENT PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF PEDESTRIANS. THE REPORT CONCLUDES THAT, BECAUSE OF THE VARIETY OF FACTORS WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO PEDESTRIAN HAZARDS IN DIFFERENT LOCAL SITUATIONS, DETAILED STUDIES ARE NECESSARY TO DETERMINE THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO REDUCE HAZARDS TO PEDESTRIANS AND PROVIDE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE TRAIN SERVICE.
