SOME SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS IN THE CONVERSION OF ZEBRA CROSSINGS TO PELICAN CROSSINGS

The effect on personal-injury accidents of the conversion of certain zebra crossings to pelican crossings in the greater London area is reported. It is shown that it is not yet possible to ascribe a safety benefit directly to such a conversion, and it is also suggested that additional precautions may need to be taken if the accident situation is not to deteriorate. /TRRL/
