The
Crash Group/General Countermeasure Matrix identifies potential
solutions for use by safety practitioners. This matrix is
particularly helpful as a resource of potential engineering
countermeasures, which may be implemented at a location to
address a particular pedestrian crash type. Moreover, this
Matrix should be used in conjunction with local site data,
including the number of pedestrian crashes and types, traffic
and pedestrian volumes, vehicle speeds, and road width to
develop the most suitable countermeasure. Conscientious planning,
effective education programs, and consistent safety and law
enforcement also contribute to improving our communities for
pedestrians. The contents of the Crash Group/ General Countermeasure
Matrix do not constitute a standard, specification or regulation.
