Hagersville Streetscape Plan

Crosswalks
The objective for crosswalks in downtown Hagersville is to strengthen
pedestrian crossings of vehicular routes in a unique fashion that reflects
the community’s historic roots. Crosswalks should:
a) Have drop curbs, and ramps at the intersection, one for each
direction, rather than a single one directing the intersection centre.
b) Provide accessible transitions, including dropped or rolled curbs,
and texture or color differentiation between the public sidewalk
and the intersection for pedestrian wayfinding and visibility from
vehicular traffic.
c) Have materials and textures that are durable and easy to maintain,
considering seasonal influences and traffic conditions.
d) Be at least 2.4 to 3.0 metres in width.
e) Be provided at all road crossings, and extend from curb to curb in a
direct route across the roadway.
f) For the primary intersection at Main Street and King Street:
o Crosswalks should be 3.0 metres in width, consisting of a 2.40
metres concrete field bound by 0.3 metres concrete banding;
o Should be highly visible through differentiation in colour
and/or texture from the roadway or the intersection’s interior
field;
o Textures or relief patterning used should be of local or historic
significance (such as rail lines or the Plank Road), and not
create trip hazards for pedestrians;
o Avoid use of precast unit pavers or stone which may become
loose and require regular maintenance.
