25 Crossing Treatment Selection Guide The table below is intended to serve as a quick guide crossing treatment selection after a crossing location is deemed appropriate based on engineering judgment, traffic operations, accessibility needs, and site-specific conditions. Context-sensitive guidance and considerations for each treatment is provided in the subsequent pages. Certain treatments may reduce Pedestrian Level of Crossing Stress (PxLTS), particularly those that shorten crossing distance, control traffic, or reduce vehicle speeds. This guidance does not replace requirements in the MUTCD, PROWAG, or other adopted state and local standards. Crossing Treatment Primary Purposes When is it recommended to use at… Signalized Intersections Stop-Controlled Intersections Uncontrolled Intersections Midblock Crossings Marked crosswalks Improves driver awareness of crossing Always Always Always Always High visibility marked crosswalks Improves driver awareness of crossing On HIN0F 1 and school routes On HIN and school routes On HIN and school routes Always Raised Crossings Increases visibility of crossing pedestrians N/A Where appropriate Where appropriate Where appropriate Daylighting Increases visibility of crossing pedestrians; Improves sight lines for all roadway users Always Always Always Always Pedestrian- scale lighting Increases visibility of pedestrians Always Always Always Always Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) Minimizes vehicle/pedestrian conflict Intersections on HIN or high pedestrian activity areas N/A N/A N/A Curb extensions Shorten crossing distance; slow vehicle turning Where appropriate Where appropriate Where appropriate Where appropriate Protected intersection Shorten crossing distance; slow vehicle turning Where appropriate Where appropriate Where appropriate (e.g., at a roundabout) N/A 1 High-Injury Network
