RRFB Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon Yielding in St. Pete increased from single digits to over 80%

Dynamic Lighting Supplements RRFB Lights crosswalk and pedestrian Can attract pedestrians to the crossing

53% of crashes and 81% of fatalities occurred on roads with 4 or more lanes 36% of crashes on multi- lane roads without medians; 65% of fatalities Median distance of crossing pedestrian crash to nearest traffic signal = 1/10 th mile Median & Refuge Island Needs Tier I Tier II Programmed Median & Refuge Island Needs Tier I Tier II Programmed Our Problem Areas

10% of crashes and 33% of fatalities occurred on multi-lane roads without street lighting Intersection improvements and high-emphasis crossings for other crash concentrations Lighting Needs

Complementary Strategies Motorist at fault = 35% 10% at marked crosswalks 3.5% at driveways 6.3% other motorist failure to yield 6% of fatalities involved motorist failure to yield at intersection Enforcement of Motorist Yielding

Enforcement supports and complements engineering Complementary Strategies

Other Complementary Efforts FDOT Sidewalk Gaps Local Government Sidewalk Gaps Metro area crash database Pedestrian Safety & Mobility Assessment Tool -- applied to PD&Es Complementary Strategies

Identify priorities and funding sources for engineering countermeasures -- Into TIP Change area driving culture through enforcement and education; 5-year effort Coordinate engineering efforts with enforcement/education efforts Monitor performance with field observations and crash data Action Plan Components

Enforcement/Education Funding to Bike-Walk Central Florida Train local officers in crosswalk enforcement strategies Supplement with targeted education to motorists and pedestrians Monitor for effectiveness; 18 months Coordinate with engineering efforts
