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 = 1/10th mile

Our Problem Areas
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

Complementary Strategies
Motorist at fault = 35%10% at marked crosswalks3.5% at driveways6.3% other motorist failure to yield6% of fatalities involved motorist failure to yield at intersection
Enforcement of Motorist Yielding
Enforcement supports and complements engineering
Complementary Strategies
Other Complementary EffortsFDOT Sidewalk GapsLocal Government Sidewalk GapsMetro area crash databasePedestrian Safety & Mobility Assessment Tool
-- applied to PD&Es
Complementary Strategies
Identify priorities and funding sources for engineering countermeasures
-- Into TIPChange area driving culture through enforcement and education; 5-year effortCoordinate engineering efforts with enforcement/education effortsMonitor performance with field observations and crash data
Action Plan Components
Enforcement/Education
Funding to Bike-Walk Central FloridaTrain local officers in crosswalk enforcement strategiesSupplement with targeted education to motorists and pedestriansMonitor for effectiveness; 18 monthsCoordinate with engineering efforts
