The FHWA Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP) program developed a series of videos that demonstrate how to reduce crash risk for pedestrians crossing roadways.
Each video highlights transportation officials describing how pedestrians and drivers use or interact at the crossing improvements. These brief videos explain the safety benefits of five countermeasures including:
- Crosswalk visibility enhancements
- Refuge islands
- Raised crosswalks
- Pedestrian hybrid beacons
- Road diets
You can use these videos in public meetings, conferences, or share them through social media to help educate pedestrians, drivers, and local decision-makers.
To learn more about the STEP countermeasures featured in these videos, please contact Becky Crowe of the FHWA Office of Safety or Peter Eun of the FHWA Resource Center.
