Signage, Signals, and Crosswalks

 

This intersection is an example of a ladder or zebra crosswalk marking.

The brick material and standard crosswalk markings help regulate driver behavior.
The intersection is a example of a varied strategy for all of
it users: it has exclusive bike lanes; raised sidewalks;
pedestrian signage; separated sidewalks and speed-limit signs;
standard crosswalk markings; and landscaping.
This is an example of a small pedestrian island that
increases safety by allowing pedestrians to cross in two
phases. The brick not only acts as a contrast to the tar pavement,
but it is also used as a way-finding tool to direct pedestrians.
It lacks, however, curb cuts for wheelchairs.
This intersection uses raised crosswalks, signage, bump-outs, and a landscaped island to help guide both pedestrians and drivers.
This intersection clearly demarcates the uses for pedestrians and automobiles through two wide crosswalks made from a textured material, timed stoplights, and traffic signage that does not allow automobiles to turn right on red.
