Appendix D: ON LINE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY RESOURCES The links for the documents and web sites listed in this section were tested shortly before the study was completed. However, organizations constantly change their web sites, moving and removing documents as well as adding them. The authors apologize for any out of date web addresses. General Sources of Pedestrian Safety Information WalkingInfo.org Extensive site on pedestrian transportation: It includes community problems and solutions; design and engineering; a digital library; data on pedestrian crashes, etc. It is an excellent resource for pedestrian design and safety. http://www.walkinginfo.org Some of the specific documents on the WalkingInfo web site are: PedSafe: Pedestrian Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System, David Harkey and Charles Zegeer, September 2004, for FHWA. Available on CD Rom and in paper also. Is a good guide to countermeasures, with a brief section on each counter measure. http://www.walkinginfo.org/pedsafe/pedsafe_downloads.cfm Exemplary Pedestrian Plans: Includes pedestrian plans and pedestrian safety plans from around the country. http://www.walkinginfo.org/pp/exem2005.htm Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Resource Guide, NHTSA, 2006. This is an extensive interactive guide, which allows users to choose countermeasures appropriate to specific safety problems (e.g., dart outs or excessive speed) and types of implementer (e.g., public highway agencies or law enforcement). http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/pedbimot/bike/BikePedestrian/ Design and Safety of Pedestrian Facilities: Recommended Practices of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, 1998. Although this document is older than most of the others on this page, it is still a good comprehensive guide. http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/ped_bike/docs/designsafety.pdf Guidance for Implementation of the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan; Volume 10: A Guide for Reducing Collisions Involving Pedestrians, NCHRP Report 500, volume 10, Zegeer, Charles, Stutts, Jean, et al.
