Roundabouts Great formula for moving cars Or is it? • Sidewalks shall be separated for way finding. • Where pedestrian crossings are more than one lane, pedestrian-activated signals shall be provided. Landscaped separation to indicate crossing location. Possible separation solution for curb attached sidewalks Once the crossing location is found Identifying gaps with no visual cues Multi-threat crash is large issue for large RBTs Crossings Detectable warnings at crossings and splitters Crossings Detectable warnings at crossings and splitters Crossings Raised Crosswalks may help Single-Lane • Single-lane are a little simpler to navigate Multi-Lane • Multi-lane need signalization • This is not ‘reality’ it is Visualization What kind of signal???? RRF Beacon? Still Need Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) This is not an APS Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK)? HAWK 1 4 Blank for drivers Steady red 2 5 Flashing yellow Wig-Wag 3 Return to 1 Steady yellow Sequence Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) Locator tone then walk indication PROWAG will likely require the following: • …there shall be a continuous and detectable edge treatment (not DWS) along the street side of the walkway wherever pedestrian crossing is not intended… • …at roundabouts with multi-lane crossings, a pedestrian activated ‘signal’ (with APS) shall be provided for each multi-lane segment… • …where pedestrian crosswalks are provided at multi-lane right or left channelized turn lanes at roundabouts, a pedestrian activated ‘signal’ (with APS) shall be provided… Light-rail running through RBT in Utah
