Implementing pedestrian safety interventions Attachment C <br />Attachment B <br />effective in reducing pedestrian fatalities and injuries, or in bringing about desired <br />behaviour change. <br />. Promising: Evidence from robust studies show that some pedestrian safety <br />benefits have resulted from these interventions, but further evaluation from <br />diverse settings is required and caution is thus needed when implementing these <br />interventions. <br />. Insufficient evidence: Evaluation of an intervention has not reached a firm <br />conclusion about its effectiveness (2). <br />Focal measures and specific interventions for improving <br />pedestrian safety <br />Key measures Examples of interventions Effectiveness <br />Proven <br />Promising <br />Insufficient <br />evidence <br />Reduce Provide sidewalks <br />pedestrian Install and/or upgrade traffic and <br />exposure to pedestrian signals <br />vehicular traffic <br />Construct pedestrian refuge islands and <br />raised medians <br />Construct enhanced marked crossings <br />Provide vehicle restriction/diversion <br />measures <br />Install overpasses/underpasses <br />Improve mass transit route design <br />Reduce traffic volumes by switching <br />journeys from the car to public transport, <br />walk and cycle for distances and <br />purposes where these options work well <br />Reduce vehicle Reduce speed limit <br />speeds Implement area-wide lower speed limit <br />programmes, for example, 30 km/h <br />Implement road-narrowing measures <br />Install speed management measures at <br />road sections <br />Install speed management measures at <br />intersections <br />Provide school route improvements <br />Improve sight Provide crossing enhancements <br />distance Implement lighting/crossing illumination <br />and/or visibility measures <br />between motor <br />vehicles and Reduce or eliminate obstruction by <br />pedestrians physical objects including parked <br />vehicles <br />Install signals to alert motorists that <br />pedestrians are crossing <br />Improve visibility of pedestrians <br />64 <br />Page 210 <br />
