2. Outline Introduction Area Characteristics Data Analysis Conclusions Recommendations Acknowledgements

3. Civil & Environmental Engineering Introduction High Intensity Activated CrossWalK Motivation – Portland Crashes (1985 – 2002) – Increase in bicycle traffic – Commitment to walking and biking Pedestrians Crashes 3% Injuries 29 % Fatalities

4. Civil & Environmental Engineering Introduction – cont. Crashes at non – signalized intersections – Bikes and Peds have trouble finding gaps – Motorists on major streets do not yield or stop Options to reduce crashes – Median refuge islands, painted crosswalks Low compliance rate – Install traffic signal Not warranted, higher delay, increase in emissions – HAWK

5. Civil & Environmental Engineering MUTCD & HAWK Locations 2009 MUTCD – Includes information on ped hybrid beacon – Application, design and operation Installed locations – Portland, OR 41 st & Burnside 18 th & Sandy – Tucson, AZ – Other cities (Washington DC, Salt Lake City )
