City of Oxnard | Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Additional Discussion – Pedestrian Signal Detectors Placement Place pedestrian push-buttons in locations that are easy to reach and ADA compliant. The control face should be aligned with the direction of travel. • Pushbuttons detectors should be located at the level top of the curb ramp, adjacent to a level landing, at approximately 40- 42 inches off the ground. • Proper location is essential to ensure a sight impaired pedestrians can easily find the pushbutton. • Pushbuttons can be mounted to an existing sign/lamp post or a new single use post. Accessible Pedestrian Signals The California MUTCD defines an Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) as “a device that communicates information about pedestrian timing in non visual format such as audible tones, verbal messages, and/or vibrating surfaces.” (California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices 2003, Section 4A.01). A vibrotactile pedestrian device communicates information about pedestrian timing through a vibrating surface by touch. Vibrotactile pedestrian signals should be provided wherever sight-impaired pedestrians are expected. Alta Planning + Design | A-69
Appendix A | Design Guidelines A.8.13. Pedestrian Refuge Islands Design Summary • Pedestrian refuge islands should be installed at intersections where a pedestrian has to cross streets with four or more lanes, with traffic volumes higher 7,500 vehicles per day (VPD), and speeds greater than 35 mph. • At street crossing locations with vehicle speeds higher than 35 mph and traffic volumes more than 15,000 VPD, “corral-style” pedestrian refuge islands should be offset so that pedestrians must face opposing traffic before crossing the second half of the street. • Refuge islands should be a minimum of four feet wide by eight feet long. This is an absolute minimum and should not be used at multi-use trail crossings or other locations where bicycle traffic may be anticipated. • Pedestrian refuge islands should be well illuminated. • A vertical element should be provided on the island including trees, landscape features, bollards, or sign posts. • Pedestrian refuge islands must be ADA compliant; where it is not possible to include ramps and waiting pads, waiting areas should be at-grade with the roadway. Preferred Design Pedestrian refuge island at an intersection Discussion Pedestrian refuges in wide or busy streets improve safety for pedestrians and vehicles. They are defined as areas within an intersection or between lanes of traffic where pedestrians may safely wait until vehicular traffic clears, allowing them to cross a street. These islands are particularly helpful for seniors, the disabled, and children who may be unable to cross the street during the available signal time. Another benefit to pedestrians is that it can significantly reduce delay in crossing un-signalized intersections since the pedestrian need only search for vehicles in one direction at a time. Guidance Intersections with high vehicular traffic volumes and pedestrian traffic. Wide roadways where a two legged crossing will increase ability of pedestrians to cross roadways taking advantage of traffic gaps, without modifications to adjacent intersection signal timing. Multi-use trail crossings of multi-lane roadways. Mid-block “corral-style” pedestrian refuge island A-70 | Alta Planning + Design
