Website: PEDSAFE Pedestrian Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System – A new online tool from the Federal Highway Administration, PEDSAFE, provides the latest information on roadway designs and treatments for improving the safety and mobility of those who walk. The practitioner-oriented website consists of four components: a guide to basic information on pedestrian issues, crash typing, and implementing new treatments; a comprehensive list of more than 65 engineering, education, and enforcement countermeasure options, including cost estimates and expected safety impacts; 85 case studies that document one or more of the countermeasures; and a countermeasure selection tool, which, based on goals (reducing traffic volumes, mitigating certain crash types) and site characteristics (roadway class, rural/urban/suburban, volumes, school zone, etc.) provides a list of appropriate countermeasures.
