Low-Cost Pedestrian Safety Zones: Countermeasure Selection Resource

This report presents details about different low-cost countermeasure combinations that can be deployed within an identified area, or “zone,” in support of the pedestrian zone approach. Countermeasure selection should be based on the crash and risk profiles identified through data analysis. The following assumptions guided the countermeasures included evidence, cost and planning and built times. The table at the end of this report demonstrates how engineering and behavioral countermeasures can be used in combination to create a comprehensive package of interventions within a particular zone.
