RE: Response to Comments, Mor�an Street Medica� Office, Mor�an Street, City of Sarato�a Springs,
Sarato�a County, New York;CM Project No. 120-372
Dear Mr. Ronayne,
Creighton Manning Engineering, LLP (CM) has reviewed the traffic related comments associated with
MorganStreetMedicalOffice provided bythe Chazen Companies(CityofSaratoga Springs reviewengineer)
in a December 9, 2021 letter. Below is a summary of the traffic related comments and our responses.
Origir►al Comment#2—The traffic evaluation r►otes a 20-to.30-.second ir►crea�e in delay a.s a result from the
project at the irrter�ection of Church St and Myrtle .Sts i►owever, ti►e .study doe.s r►ot evaluate georrretric

applicarrt.should corr.s�der evaluatirrg poter►tial geometric improvement.s to mitigate ti►e irrcrea.se in delay.
CM Origir►al Respor►se: Gearrretric irrrprovemerrts were considered at this intersections haweverA ROW
constraints, parkir►g lats and existirrg bu�ldirrg locations lirrr�t the potential far roadway widerrir►g at the
Church Street/ll�yrtle.Street intersectior►. The level af serviee assessment irrdicates the interseetiorr would
operate at LOS D or better during peak hours after full build-out of the siteA with sigr►al tirrr�ng adjustmerrts.
The only geometric irrrprovemerrt that would provide a r►oticeable reductior► irr delay at this irrtersectior►
wauld be the additian of a left-turn larre, through lane, and separate right turrr larre on the southbound
llilyrtle Street appraach. A review of the intersection indicates that widening in this approach would
sigrrificarrtly irrrpact the Saratoga Spine business and is not corrsiclered practical.
Updated Comment#2—The proposed project has significant irnpact to the intersection of Church Street at
Myrtle Street. Mitigation measures should be provided that fully mitigate the impacts to No-Build conditions,
ineluding eoneepts of the improvements and their potential impacts to adjoinin�lands.This information will
allow the City to be fully informed about the impaets and the possible improvements. Miti�ation measures
eould also inelude a reduetion in the projeet size.
Additional detail should be provided on the capacity analysis worksheets that include the 95th percentile
queue len�ths. Avera�e queue lengths for build conditions on the Myrtle Street southbound approach are
lon�and will prevent access into the ri�ht-turn lane. It can be expected that the 95th percenti�e queue length,
the queue len�th typically referenced in analyses,will be si�nificant�y lon�er.
Response: A review of the Trip Generation Manual indicates that the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) has published an updated version of this resource (11t" edition) which takes into
account the surrounding uses of inedical offices; therefore, the trip generation estimate has been
updated to account for the proximityto the existingSaratoga Hospital and related medical office space.
The trip generation for the proposed project was estimated using land use code (LUC) 720 for
Medical/Dental Office located within/near a hospital campus. Table 1 summarizes the trip generation
estimate for the AM and PM peak hours.

Table 1 shows that Phase 1 (2027) of the proposed medical facility is expected to generate
approximately 202 new vehicle trips during the AM peak hour and 221 new vehicle trips during the PM
peak hour. In addition, the construction of two medical office buildings totaling 30,000 SF associated
with Phase 2 (2031) will generate a total of 80 new vehicle trips during the AM peak hour and a total
of 84 new vehicle trips during the PM peak hour.
Traffic generated by the proposed project was re-distributed at the study area intersections similar to
the original analysis. The resulting trip assignment for Phase 1 (2027) and Full Build-Out (Phase 2 in
2031)are shown on Figure 1.The site generated trips were added to the 2027 and 2031 No-Build traffic
volumes resulting in the Phase 1 (2027) and Full Build-Out(Phase 2) 2031 traffic volumes.These traffic
volumes represent expected traffic conditions after full build-out of the proposed project and are
shown on Figure 2.
As requested above, a geometric improvement alternative was included in the assessment. As noted
in our original response, the available right-of-way (ROW) at the Church Street/Myrtle Street
intersection limits potential widening on all four corners of the intersection. In addition, only the
provision of three southbound lanes on Myrtle Street would provide any significant benefit to
operations of the existing traffic signal;therefore,for the purposes of this exercise, it was assumed that
ROW limitations could be overcome through an asymmetrical widening toward Saratoga Hospital in
order to provide the Saratoga Springs Planning Board with an alternative improvement scenario. A
concept with an exclusive left-turn lane, a through lane, and a separate right-turn lane on the
southbound Myrtle Street approach has been included in the analysis. A concept of this improvement
is shown below.Similar to the original traffic assessment, intersection evaluations were made using the
Synchro Software which automates the procedures contained in the Highway Capacity Manual. Table
2 and Table 3 summarize the results of the level of service calculations for the proposed project with
the revised trip generation and additional improvement scenario. It is noted that a Phase 2A and Phase
2B has been provided which shows incremental impacts associated with the construction of a two
separate 15,000 SF buildings being constructed after Phase 1 is complete.The detailed level of service
analyses are included under Attachment A.

The analysis indicates that the PM peak hour represents worst-case conditions at the Church Street/Myrtle
Street intersection. This intersection will operate at an overall LOS B/C during the AM and PM peak hours
after construction of the Phase 1 building (75,000 SF) with all movements operating at LOS D or better. It
is noted that with minor signal timing modifications, all movements will operate at LOS C or better during
both peak hours with an increase in overall delay of approximately one and nine seconds during the AM
and PM peaks hours, respectively. No geometric improvements are necessary to mitigate these Phase I
conditions.

The analysis also indicates that afterthe construction ofone 15,000 SF building(Phase 2A),this intersection
will operate at an overall LOS B/C during the AM and PM peak hours with all movements operating at LOS
D or better. It is noted that minor signal timing modifications can minimize the increased delay on the
southbound Myrtle Street approach during the PM peak hour. No geometric improvements would be
necessary to mitigate Phase 2A conditions.
After full build-out of the site (an additional 15,000 SF associated with Phase 2B), this intersection will
operate at an overall LOS B/C during the AM and PM peak hours with the southbound shared left-
turn/through lane operating at LOS E during the PM peak hour. It is noted that minor signal timing
modifications will improve the LOS E to LOS D conditions during the PM peak hour and that the overall
intersection will continue to operate at LOS B/C during the AM and PM peak hours. If a separate left-turn
lane and through lane are provided on the southbound Myrtle Street approach, this intersection will
operate at an overall LOS B during both peak hours with all movements operating at LOS C or better. It is
noted that a geometric improvement would impact the hospital parking lot, utilities, drainage, and the
existing traffic signal poles. It is estimated that this improvement would cost approximately $675,000. A
geometric improvement is not recommended at this intersection since adequate operations will be
provided without roadway widening.
Queuin�Evaluation
A queuing evaluation was conducted on the southbound Myrtle Street approach at the Church Street
intersection to determine if queuing will impact the abilityto access the existing right-turn lane or will block
the access into Saratoga Hospital. The existing right-turn lane is 175-feet long (7 vehicles) and has an
approximately 100-foot long taper. In addition, the entrance to the Emergency Center for general walk-
ins/drop-offs is located 275-feet north of Church Street while the entrance to the Intensive Care Unit for
ambulances is located 475-feet north of Church Street. It is noted that the southbound Myrtle Street
approach can accommodate approximately 11 and 19 vehicles in queue before operations of the
Emergency Center and Intensive Care Unit will be impacted, respectively. Table 4 summarizes the queues
on the southbound Myrtle Street approach after full build-out of the proposed medical offices.

The Synchro model indicates that afterfull build-out ofthe proposed medical offices,the southbound right-
turn lane will experience average vehicle queues of approximately two and four vehicles (50 to 100-feet)
during the AM and PM peak hours while the 95t" percentile queue is approximately four to six vehicles(100
to 150-feet)during the AM and PM peak hours.The existing right-turn lane can accommodate these vehicle
queues. In addition, the Synchro model indicates that after full build-out of the proposed medical office
(with signal timing improvements during the PM peak hour),the southbound shared left-turn/through lane
will experience average vehicle queues of approximately two and seven vehicles (50 to 175-feet) during
the AM and PM peak hours while the 95t" percentile queue is approximately three to 12 vehicles (75 to

300-feet) during the AM and PM peak hours. This suggest that average vehicle queues in the shared left-
turn through lane will not block vehicles from accessing the 175-foot long right-turn lane and will not block
the Emergency Center driveway. It is noted that the 95t"percentile queue during the PM peak hour would
block vehicles from accessing the right-turn lane and would briefly extend past the Emergency Center
driveway. It is anticipated that these worst-case condition queues will dissipate quickly as the traffic signal
cycles through the timing plan. It noted that the southbound queue would not impact the Intensive Care
Unitdrivewaythat accommodate ambulances.The queuing assessment also indicates that the construction
of an additional lane on the southbound approach will reduce average and 95t" percentile queues on Myrtle
Street during both peak hours.
Original Comrrrent#3—The study rrotes that there's heavy pedestriarr activii}r that exists acrass Myrtle Street,
but daes rrot discuss/arralyze how the project will impact these heavily used crossings. The applieant should
cansider ewaluating the impact af the project arr the pedestrian tra�fic and whether any additional
improvemerrts are warranted, as the project generates a sigrrificarrt level af traffic.
CM Original Response:A review of existirrg corrditians irrdicates that twa mid-black marked crosswalks
are currently provided for pedestriarrs to cross 1lmlyrtle 5'treet approximately 350 feet and 560 feet north
of the sigrralized C'hurch Street/Myrtle Street intersection. Pedestrian activity at these►rrarked crosswalks
was reported in the Traffic Evaluatiarr letfl�er during the morning peak periad�7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.►n.J arrd
the afterrroon peak period{4:00 p.rrr. to 6:00 p.m.J. It i.s agreed that heavy pedestriar►aetivity a.ssociated
with err►ployee� arrd visitors wa.s ob.served aeee.ssir►g Saratoga Ho.spital and related land use.s orr Myrtle
Street with over 250 pede.striar►.s ob.served durirrg the All�peak hour and over 1.50 pede�trian.s ob.served
during the PM peak i►our at both cro.s.sir►gs irr total. The data irrdicate.s that approximately�.5°a of the
pede.str�arr.s ob.served durir►g the.se peak tirr►e.s u.sed the r►orthern cro.sswalk dcre to the location of ti►e large
parkir►g fields. It is r►oted that RRF�s(6iectar►gular Rapid Flash�ng�eaconsJ were recently irrstalled by the
City of.Saratoga Sprirrgs as part of the�r Pedestrian.Safety Design arrd Engirreerirrg project at the nar-�herrr
crosswalk to prov�de enharrced accarr�modatians for pedestriar►s. Ir► additior►A appropriate sigr►age was
provided at the southerrr crasswalk to alert drivers of this crassing corrdit�orr. After full bu�ldout it is
ar►ticipated that Myrtle Street will earperienee appraarirrrately 635 ta 690 vehicles durirrg the A11�ar►d PM
peak hours, respectively. A review af Figure 2a for the C'ity af Baulder Guidelines for the Installatian af
Pedestrian Hybrid�eacons, Pedestrian Sigrrals, ar RRF� Signs on Low-Speed Roadways shows that the
RRFB will rerrrain an appropriate pedestriarr acco►rrmodation at the northern crosswalk. No additiarral
pedestrian accomrr►odatiarrs abave and beyond the improved sidewalk network noted in the Traffic
Evaluatiarr letter is recom►rrended.
Updated Comment#3—The RRFB reference material of the City of Boulder should be provided as well as a
discussion as to why and how it applies to NVS/Saratoga Springs.
The hospital and proposed medieal offiees are related uses and it ean be expected that the pedestrian activity
will increase on Myrtle Street due to the projeet, espeeially since pedestrians will be required to cross Myrtle
Street as the side�nra�k alternates from one side of the street to the other.An estirnate of the increase should
be provided.
What v�rere the observations of trafFic queues and the number of times the RRFB's v�ere activated during the
pedestrian activity counts? The hi�h volume of pedestrian crossin�s and the increases in trafFic may
si�nificantly impact the trafFic flows and delays alon�Myrtle Street.An analysis of the impacts on delays and
queues should be provided for existing and proposed conditions.
What, if any, are the recommendations for enhanced visibility of the crossvvalles proposed near the project
site, especially as a crosswalk is proposed on a curve?

Transportation Officials (NACTO) and it may be used as a resource when evaluating the need for a
RRFB at a specific location.The City of Boulder reference material is included under Attachment B.
Additional pedestrian observations were taken on Thursday, December 17, 2021 during the
morning and afternoon peak hours identified during the original January 6, 2021 observations.
Table 5 summarizes the original and recent observations taken in January 2021 and in December
2021. Information provided by Saratoga Hospital indicates that Covid testing peaked in January
2021 (545 tests per day) but generally returned to average conditions in December 2021 (225 test
per day). The data suggest that the high number of pedestrians observed in January 2021 were
likely due to the testing surge experienced during that time. Pedestrian crossings decreased by
approximately 30% during the AM peak hour and 19% during the PM peak hour when compared
to recent observations.

A more detailed review of pedestrian activity indicates that the 184 and 141 pedestrians observed
during the AM and PM peak hours in December 2021 actually crossed in 113 and 91 separate
groups, respectively, and therefore did not stop traffic for each crossing. Pedestrians at the
northern crosswalk pressed the button to activate the RRFB signal approximately 37% of the time
during the AM peak hour and 13% of the time during the PM peak hour. In addition, it took
pedestrians an average of six seconds to cross the street during both peak hours.These 113 to 91
separate groups stopped traffic about halfthe time which typically caused an average northbound
and southbound queue of two vehicles on Myrtle Street that had an average vehicle delay of
approximately seven seconds during both peak hours. These queues did not impact operations of
the driveways located along Myrtle Street. It is noted that there will be approximately 470 to 432
vehicles on Myrtle Street during the AM and PM peak hours south of Morgan Street, respectively,
if the medical offices are not constructed.This will increase by 189 and 221 vehicles after full build-
out of the site during the AM and PM peak hours (659 total vehicles during the AM peak hour and
653 total vehicles during the PM peak hour). It is not anticipated that vehicle queues will
dramatically increase as a result of increased pedestrian activity and vehicles associated with the
site. In addition, the queuing assessment included under response to Comment #2 indicates that
the southbound queue on Myrtle Street from Church Street will not impact the southern and
northern pedestrian crossings located 315-feet and 520-feet north of the signalized intersection.
The ITE Trip Generation Manual does not provide data with regard to pedestrian trips associated
with medical office buildings; however, a review of trip generation characteristics for general
offices indicates that a 105,000 SF building will generate approximately 12 pedestrians during the
AM peak hour and 16 pedestrians during the PM peak hour. It is assumed that a medical office will
generate similar pedestrians during the peak hours.A review of the figure below indicates that an
increase of 50 pedestrian trips during either peak hour would still not trigger the potential need
for a full pedestrian signal at this location and would therefore not change the conclusions of the

original traffic assessment. Even with higher pedestrian crossings, a full pedestrian signal may not
be appropriate.

• Recommendation based on City of Boulder Safety Evaluations at existing RRFB sites and observed impacts to vehicular traffic operations.
It is proposed that the new Myrtle Street/Morgan Street/Site Driveway intersection operate under
all-way stop control; therefore, pedestrians will be able to cross each leg of the intersection when
opposing vehicles are stopped at the intersection. While marked pedestrian crosswalks can be
provided at this location, it is our opinion that additional enhanced pedestrian accommodations
are not required.

Executive Summary
Providing safe and efficient pedestrian facilities is a long-established goal of the City of Boulder.
Pedestrian facilities are of particular importance as we try to reduce our dependency on the
automobile. The decision to travel as a pedestrian is in part subject to the pedestrian's ability
and perceived ability to safely and efficiently cross roadways along the travel route. With this in
mind, the City of Boulder has established this document to provide a set of criteria, procedures,
and policies to guide the installation of crossing treatments. This document, intended to
replace the Citv of Boulder Pedestrian Crossinq Treatment Warrants implemented in 1996,
incorporates data collected both for the previous document and recently collected for this effort.
Specifically, this document summarizes:
■ Proposed pedestrian crossing criteria and procedures for evaluating the need for
crossing treatments, including a "flowchart" approach
■ Specific pedestrian crossing treatments that may be applicable for a particular set of
pedestrian volumes, pedestrian types, vehicular volumes, vehicular speeds, and
roadway geometry.
When Boulder's original Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Warrants were developed in 1996,
there were relatively few studies available at the federal, state, and municipal levels with respect
to the installation of crosswalks and other crossing treatments. Over the past few years more
studies have been published which assist in the formulation of specific local policies. However,
national standards still provide little guidance for the installation of marked crosswalks and
treatments, particularly at mid-block locations. Crosswalks and other crossing treatments are
typically installed based on engineering judgment. Key issues, such as the circumstances in
which a crosswalk should be installed, how much safety benefit crosswalks provide, and the
application of various crossing enhancements are still commonly debated topics.
Information recently published by the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) (Zegeer et al)'
suggests that on two-lane roadways, marked crosswalks alone at uncontrolled locations have
no effect on pedestrian accident rates. The FHWA study goes on to suggest that, on higher
volume, multi-lane roadways, marked crosswalks alone (without any other treatments) are
associated with higher vehicle-pedestrian accidents rates compared to unmarked locations.
Over the past fourteen years, the City of Boulder has undertaken an extensive evaluation of the
effectiveness and safety of various treatments being tested at crossing locations in the City.
The City has installed demonstration devices at nearly 40 locations including two-lane and multi-
lane crossings. These treatments have included enhanced crosswalk signing, pedestrian-
actuated flashing signs, raised crossings on right-turn bypass islands, and other devices. This
evaluation has shown that while these devices most often result in a significant increase in
driver compliance (yielding to crossing pedestrians) at crosswalks, some of these devices may
lead to higher vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-pedestrian accidents at multi-lane, high
pedestrian/vehicle volume locations. The results of the data collection to date have been
incorporated into these guidelines, though the City of Boulder will continue to evaluate these
and other treatments and may make changes to the guidelines over time.

Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page iii
The Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines are intended to provide a consistent
procedure for considering the installation of crossing treatments where needed on a case-by-
case basis in the City of Boulder. Implementation of crossing treatments will require funds that
could potentially have been spent on other transportation system improvements, and, therefore,
must be considered carefully in the funding allocation process.

1.0 DEFINITIONS
This section includes the definitions of some of the common technical terms used in this
document.
Average Daily Traffic (ADT)
The amount of vehicular traffic that crosses an imaginary line across a roadway in a 24-hour
period. ADT information typically includes both directions of vehicle travel (if on a two-way
street).
Controlled Pedestrian Crossing
A pedestrian crossing where motorists are required to stop by either a stop sign or traffic signal
(including a HAWK beacon)
Crosswalk Lighting
Street lighting applied at a pedestrian crossing to help approaching motorists see a crossing
pedestrian. Crosswalk lighting is at a "vehicular scale" like normal street lighting rather than a
"pedestrian scale" that is often used along a sidewalk.
Curb Extensions
A roadway edge treatment where a curbline is bulged out toward the middle of the roadway to
narrow the width of the street. Curb extensions are sometimes call "neckdowns", and are often
used at the location of a pedestrian crosswalk to minimize the distance and time that a crossing
pedestrian must be in the roadway.
Differential Vehicle Queuing
See also Vehicle Queue. A condition on a roadway with two or more travel lanes in a single
direction where the line of stopped traffic in one travel lane is significantly longer than the line of
stopped traffic in the adjacent travel lane. Differential vehicle queuing across a pedestrian
crosswalk can cause a significant safety concern as it increased the potential for "multiple
threat" pedestrian accidents.
Gap in Traffic
A gap in traffic is the space between vehicles approaching the pedestrian crossing. Gaps are
typically measured in seconds, not distance, as it is the length of the gap in time that a
pedestrian must be able to cross in. A directional gap is the gap between vehicles approaching
in a single direction. A directional gap can be measured between vehicles in a single lane, or
between vehicles approaching in the same direction but in different lanes on a multi-lane
approach. If there is no median refuge at the crossing, a pedestrian will need to find an
acceptable gap in traffic approaching from two directions at once. This is much more
challenging than finding a gap in each approach direction separately.
HAWK Beacon
A pedestrian hybrid beacon is a relatively new type of crossing treatment used to both warn and
control traffic at a pedestrian crossing. It actuated by a pedestrian push button, and uses a
combination of circular yellow and red traffic signal displays to first warn motorists of a
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page v
pedestrian that is about to cross the street, then require the motorist to stop for the pedestrian
crossing, and then release the motorist to proceed once the pedestrian has cleared the
crossing. The Beacon is a hybrid between a pedestrian traffic signal and a stop sign.
Lane
A portion of the roadway surface designated for motor vehicle travel, typically in a single
directions, that is delineated by pavement marking stripes. Types of lanes include: "through
lanes" for travel along the length of the roadway, often through intersections; "turn lanes" which
are typically on intersection approaches and provide space for left or right turning motorists;
"bike lanes" which are designated for bicycle travel in the same direction as the automobile
travel, are typically narrower than vehicle lanes, and are usually located along the outside edges
of the roadway.
Marked Crosswalk
A pedestrian crossing that is delineated by white crosswalk pavement markings. Marked
crosswalks typically also are delineated by a variety of traffic signs. Marked crosswalks would
also have curb ramps if there is curb and gutter in an area.
Median Refuge
An area in the middle of a roadway where a crossing pedestrian can take shelter from
approaching traffic in either direction. In the context of these guidelines, the median refuge
must include a raised median of some width (see Section 2.2.4 for a description of types of
median refuges). A median refuge allows a pedestrian to cross each direction of approaching
traffic in a separate step. By using the refuge, the pedestrian must only find an acceptable gap
in traffic for one approach direction at a time.
Minimum Pedestrian Volume Threshold
The minimum amount of pedestrian crossing traffic (typically in a one hour period) that must be
present to "warrant" the installation of a pedestrian crossing treatment. See Section 2.2.3.
Motorist Compliance Data
Observations made and recorded at a pedestrian crossing where it is determined if the
approaching motorist complied with their legal requirement to yield to a crossing pedestrian who
is in or about to enter the crosswalk.
Multiple Threat Accidents
A type of pedestrian accident that occurs on a roadway with two or more lanes in the same
direction. A motorist that stops for a crossing pedestrian can obscure the view of the pedestrian
from another motorist approaching in the adjacent travel lane. If the second motorist does not
slow down it creates the potential for a crossing pedestrian to step out in front of a high speed
approach vehicle with potentially dire consequences.
Multi-Use Path Crossing
A location where a sidewalk designated as a multi-use path intersects a roadway at-grade, and
the path extends on both sides of the roadway.
Neckdowns
See Curb Extensions
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 2
Pedestrian Traffic Signal
A conventional traffic signal with circular red, yellow, and green displays for motorists and
Walk/Don't Walk signals for pedestrians that is applied at a pedestrian crossing. Typically a
pedestrian signal would be applied in a mid-block location since it would be considered a normal
intersection related traffic signal if it were to be applied at an intersection.
Raised Median
An area in the middle of a roadway, commonly separating vehicles traveling in opposite
directions, that is surrounded by curb and gutter and is physically raised above the surrounding
pavement where vehicles travel. Raised medians often contain landscaped areas. See also
Median Refuge.
Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFBs)
RRFBs are small rectangular yellow flashing lights that are deployed with pedestrian crossing
warning signs. They are typically actuated by a pedestrian push button and flash for a
predetermined amount of time, to allow a pedestrian to cross the roadway, before going dark.
RRFBs are warning devices and do not themselves create a legal requirement for a vehicle to
stop when they are flashing. Boulder's pedestrian actuated flashing signs are an example of
RRFBs.
School Crossing
School Crossing defined as a crossing location where ten or more student pedestrians per hour
are crossing
Uncontrolled Pedestrian Crossing
An established pedestrian crossing that does not include a traffic signal, a HAWK beacon, or a
stop sign that requires motor vehicles to stop before entering the crosswalk. For example,
Boulder's crosswalks with signs and/or pedestrian actuated flashing yellow lights are considered
"uncontrolled".
Vehicle Queue
A line of stopped vehicles in a single travel lane, commonly caused by traffic control at an
intersection.

2.0 CROSSING LOCATION EVALUATION PROCEDURES AND CONSIDERATIONS
2.1 Evaluation Steps
Evaluation of an individual crossing location for potential crossing treatments in the City of
Boulder should include the following four basic steps:
Step 1: Identification and Description of Crossing Location
Step 2: Physical Data Collection
Step 3: Traffic Data Collection and Operational Observations
Step 4: Apply Data to Figure 1, Table 1, and Figure 2 to Determine Appropriate
Treatments
The Crossing Location Evaluation Worksheet is included on the following page which will guide
staff through these steps. A detailed discussion of each of these procedures is provided in the
following text.
Step 1: Identification and Description of Crossing Location
a) Identify the pedestrian crossing location including the major street and specific location
of the crossing (i.e.: cross-street, street address, intersection path or trail, etc.).
b) Determine if the crossing location connects both ends of a multi-use path. If it does, the
minimum pedestrian volume requirements are not required to be met to apply the
treatments prescribed in Table 1 (see the policy discussion in Section 2.4 for more
information).
c) Note the posted speed along the major street at the crossing location.
d) Identify the existing traffic control (if any) and any existing crossing treatments (signs,
markings, or physical treatments), street lighting, and curb ramps.
Step 2: Physical Data Collection
a) Determine the existing roadway configuration including the number of lanes and the
presence of painted or raised medians at the crossing location.
b) Identify the nearest marked or protected crossing and measure the distance to this
crossing.
c) Measure the stopping sight distance (SSD) on all vehicular approaches to the crossing.
If the SSD is less than eight times (8x) the posted speed limit (in feet), determine if
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 4
improvements (such as removal of obstructions) and/or lowering of the posted speed
limit are feasible means to mitigate the inadequate SSD.
Step 3: Traffic Data Collection and Operational Observations
a) Gather or collect pedestrian crossing volumes during the peak hours of use. This will
typically involve AM, mid-day, and PM peak hours. Locations near schools may only
require two hours of data collection (AM and PM peak hours corresponding to school
opening and closing times). All pedestrian volumes should include and differentiate
between pedestrians and bicyclists and should note separately the number of young,
elderly, and/or disabled pedestrians. For locations where school crossing traffic is
anticipated, the volume of student pedestrians (school age pedestrians on their way
to/from school) should also be separately noted.
Whenever possible, pedestrian and bicycle volumes should be collected during warm-
weather months (May through September) and during fair weather conditions to
represent peak crossing activity (i.e.: no snow, rain, or high winds). Counts should be
scheduled to coincide with events such as "walking Wednesdays" if appropriate, and at a
time when nearby businesses are open. If school traffic is an issue, the counts should
be scheduled on school days when classes are in session. Given the potential
fluctuation in pedestrian traffic from day to day, it may be necessary to collect up to three
days of data (use additional Crossing Location Evaluation Worksheets as needed) to
determine if an enhanced pedestrian crossing treatment is warranted as follows:
• Collect pedestrian data on day one. If the minimum pedestrian volume threshold
(see Figure 1) is exceeded, no further pedestrian data collection is needed. If
the threshold has not been exceeded, but at least 50% of the minimum
pedestrian volume was observed, proceed to a second day of data collection.
• Collect pedestrian data on day two. If the minimum pedestrian volume threshold
is exceeded, no further pedestrian data collection is needed. If the threshold
has not been met but again the volume is at least 50% of the minimum
threshold, proceed to a third day of data collection.
• Collect pedestrian data on day three. If the minimum pedestrian volume still has
not been met, then no marked pedestrian crossing treatment is warranted by
pedestrian crossing volume.
b) Gather or collect hourly and average daily traffic (ADT) volumes for automobile traffic
along the major roadway at the crossing location. A one day sample should be
adequate, with hourly volumes collected during the same hour as the pedestrian
crossing volumes. [Note: City Staff is currently evaluating the benefit of including vehicle
gap and/or pedestrian delay data collection to this step]
c) Due to the potential for vehicular traffic queues to impact safety at the crossings, the
presence of queues extending from downstream signals or intersections back into the
crossing location should be observed, as well as any "differential" queuing that may
occur on a lane to lane basis. While collecting automobile traffic data, the formation of
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 5
vehicle queues from adjacent intersections should be noted. If one or both directional
queues reaches back to the crossing location, the number of times per hour that it
reaches the crossing location should be noted and the maximum queue length should
also be recorded. If there is more than one through lane in each direction, it should be
noted if the queues reaching back to the crossing are approximately the same length in
each lane, or is there a significant differences in the length of the queues in each lane. If
the queues are routinely of different length as they extend beyond the crossing location,
notes should be made as to the potential cause of the differential queuing.
Step 4: Apply Data to Figure 1, Table 1, and Figure 2 to Determine Appropriate
Treatments
a) Using the available data, utilize Figure 1 —Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Flowchart and
Table 1 — Criteria for Crossing Treatments at Uncontrolled Locations (if applicable) to
determine appropriate treatment(s) for signalized, stop-controlled, or uncontrolled
locations. Also consider and incorporate the information in Section 2.2 and in Figure 2
as appropriate.
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 6
2.2 Additional Evaluation Considerations
The following information should be considered by the user of these guidelines when
determining the appropriate pedestrian crossing treatment:
2.2.1 Types of Crossing Treatments at Uncontrolled Locations
(See also Table 1)
Table 1 identifies six primary types of uncontrolled crossing treatments for consideration
depending on the physical roadway conditions, vehicle volume, pedestrian volume at the
potential crossing location, etc. The crossing types are as follows:
Crossing Type A:
• Marked crosswalk
• "State Law — Yield to Pedestrians" signs mounted on the side of the roadway at the
crossing, with diagonal down arrow placards (W16-7P)
• standard advance pedestrian warning signs (W11-2) mounted in advance of the crossing
• If the location is a school crossing then standard S1-1 signs should be used
Crossing Type B:
• Same as Type A above, plus
• "State Law — Yield to Pedestrians — Within Crosswalk" signs (R1-6) mounted on flexible
bollards on the centerline (if no median present) or mounted on sign posts in the
median, if inedian is present
Crossing Type C:
• Same as Type B above plus
• Add neckdowns (curb extensions) and median refuge island to shorten the pedestrian
crossing distance and increase the visibility of pedestrians to approaching motorists
Crossing Type D:
• Marked crosswalk
• Median refuge island [Note: If a median refuge can not be constructed on a 2-way
street then go to Crossing Type F]
• "State Law — Yield to Pedestrians" signs mounted on the side of the roadway and in the
median at the crossing, with diagonal down arrow placards (W16-7P)
• Pedestrian actuated Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFBs) mounted with the
"State Law...." Signs
• standard advance pedestrian warning signs (W11-2) mounted in advance of the crossing
• If there are 2 approach lanes in a single direction install advance yield lines and "Yield
Here To Pedestrians" (R1-5) signs
• If the location is a school crossing then standard S1-1 signs should be used
• Consider adding curb extensions if on-street parking exists and storm drainage can be
accommodated
• [Note: If pedestrian volume falls above the RRFB limit line on Figure 2, go to Crossing
Type F]
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 7
Crossing Type E:
• Where speed limit is initially greater than or equal to 45 miles per hour
• Determine if the speed limit can be effectively reduced to 40 mph AND a raised median
refuge island can be installed
• If so, go to Crossing Type D
• If not, go to Crossing Type F
Crossing Type F:
• Crossing has 3 or more through lanes in a given direction or is otherwise not suitable for
an uncontrolled marked crosswalk
• Consider HAWK beacon, pedestrian traffic signal, or grade-separated pedestrian
crossing
• Refer to Figure 2 when considering crossing treatment type
• Must consider corridor signal progression, grades, physical constraints, and other
engineering factors
In Table 1 there are two columns that list:
• # or lanes crossed to reach a refuge
• # of"multiple threat" lanes per crossing
This information does not directly play in to the use of Table 1, but they do provide important
context for the user as they help distinguish the crossing types and support the difference in
recommended crossing treatments. These topics are discussed in more detail below.
2.2.2 Minimum Vehicle Volume For Treatments
Recognizing the limited availability of resources to implement crossing treatments within the
City, crossing treatments should generally not be installed at locations where the ADT is lower
than 1,500 vehicles per day. Exceptions may be made at school crossing locations where the
peak hour vehicle traffic exceeds 10% of the ADT. School crossings are defined as locations
where 10 or more student pedestrians are crossing per hour. Treatments for roadways with
greater than 1,500 vehicles per day should be installed based on the criteria in Figure 1, Table
1, and the information in Figure 2 (a or b depending on the speed limit).
2.2.3 Minimum Pedestrian Volume for Treatments at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations
The City of Boulder has evaluated crosswalk enhancements at uncontrolled crossing locations
over the years and has determined that there is a clear relationship between driver compliance
(yielding) and the pedestrian and/or bicycle crossing volume. Data collected at Boulder
crosswalks where rectangular rapid flash beacon signs (RRFB) or State Law-Yield signs were
installed shows that driver compliance typically increases with higher crossing volumes. It is
theorized that the primary reason for this relationship is that drivers tend to ignore enhanced
crossing treatments over time at locations where they infrequently see pedestrians crossing.
The following graphs illustrate this relationship:

The above data also illustrates that, below roughly 20 pedestrians per hour, driver compliance
decreases significantly. Thus, the base threshold for consideration of an enhanced crossing
treatment at an uncontrolled location is 20 pedestrians per hour. This threshold is consistent
with recent national guidance and policies adopted by other states and cities, as determined
through literature research.
The Minimum Pedestrian Volume Thresholds are as follows:
- 20 peds per hour* in any one hour, or
- 18 peds per hour* in any two hours, or
- 15 peds per hour* in any three hours
- 10 school aged pedestrians traveling to/from school in any one hour
* Young, elderly, and disabled pedestrians count 2x towards volume thresholds
** School Crossing defined as a crossing location where ten or more student pedestrians per
hour are crossing
2.2.4 Definition of a Pedestrian Median Refuge and Minimum Median Refuge Width
A pedestrian refuge median is a useful tool in increasing the safety and efficiency of a
pedestrian crossing, and the presence (or not) of a median refuge will influence the type of
pedestrian crossing treatment that can be considered (see Table 1). In this context a pedestrian
refuge median is defined as a location in the middle of a pedestrian crossing where a pedestrian
can take refuge, thereby separating their crossing into two steps, across each direction of
approaching traffic separately. Separating the crossing into two directional crossings greatly
increases the number of acceptable gaps for pedestrians to safely cross a roadway. A
pedestrian refuge must include some type of raised median as described below:
• A painted center median or a painted turn lane can never be considered a pedestrian
refuge.
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 9
• A raised median nose at an intersection (next to a left turn bay for example) can only be
considered a pedestrian refuge for the adjacent crosswalk if the median is at least 4 feet
wide AND the left turn volume is less than 20 vehicles per hour. This low left turn
volume means that during most pedestrian crossings there will not be a vehicle in the left
turn lane and the pedestrian will be "shadowed" by the width of the median and the
adjacent turn lane as they cross the street.
• A raised median at a mid-block pedestrian crossing can only be considered as a refuge
if it is at least 6 feet wide (preferably 8 feet wide) and includes curb ramps or a walkway
at grade through the median. A median of this width will allow over two feet on each
side for splash protection; it will store a group of pedestrians; and it will accommodate
the storage of a bicycle without it overhanging into the traffic lanes. For multi-use path
crossing locations, a 10' median refuge width is desirable to better accommodate
bicycles with child trailers, recumbent bicycles, and tandem bicycles.
2.2.5 Distance to Nearest Marked or Protected Crossing
The Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Flowchart in Figure 1 includes consideration of spacing
criteria for an uncontrolled crossing to the nearest marked or projected crossing. The flowchart
requires that a new uncontrolled mid-block crossing be at least 300 feet from the nearest
crossing. However, the flowchart allows this spacing criteria to be waived if the proposed
crossing serves a multi-use path, or the pedestrian crossing volume exceeds twice the minimum
threshold.
As with this entire PCTIG, this criteria is also subject to engineering judgment. In urban
conditions where Boulder's typical block length is 400 feet, the engineer may want to consider
allowing a minimum spacing of 200 feet, provided that the resultant pedestrian crossing:
• does not cross any auxiliary lanes (left or right turn lanes or their transitions) where it is
anticipated that vehicles will be changing lanes and may be distracted from observing
pedestrians in the crosswalk
• is not in an intersection influence area where it will create undue restriction to vehicular
traffic operations.
2.2.6 Conditions That May Limit the Use of Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons at
Pedestrian Crossings
The City of Boulder has been using pedestrian actuated rectangular rapid flash beacons
(RRFBs) at pedestrian crossings on four lane roadways for many years, and these "flashing
signs" have greatly increased motorist yielding to pedestrians at these unsignalized crosswalks.
However, the City has also learned that the use of RRFBs may not be appropriate in locations
where there is a combination of both high traffic volumes and high pedestrian volumes. In these
extreme conditions there may be an increase in traffic accidents and/or traffic delay that make
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 10
the use of RRFBs inappropriate. In these cases, the use of conventional pedestrian traffic
signals or the HAWK signals may be more appropriate.
While the decision not to use RRFBs at a pedestrian crossing should be based on engineering
judgment, the limit line in Figure 2 has been prepared to aid in this determination.
2.2.7 Selecting Between a Pedestrian Traffic Signal, HAWK Beacon, or RRFBs
Pedestrian traffic signals may be considered for application at high volume pedestrian crossings
based on engineering judgment. The MUTCD contains warranting procedures for conventional
pedestrian traffic signals based on automobile and vehicle traffic volumes to help determine if a
pedestrian signal is appropriate. These signals are typically considered when there are over
130 pedestrians an hour crossing a roadway.
Hybrid Beacons (HAWK beacons) may also be considered and the MUTCD contains warranting
guidelines that utilize automobile traffic, pedestrian traffic, automobile speeds, and pedestrian
crossing distance. HAWK beacons may be installed where the crossing volume is as low as 20
pedestrians per hour, depending on the crossing distance, automobile traffic volume, and
engineering judgment.
As noted above, the City of Boulder has been successful in using RRFBs to increase motorist
yielding to pedestrians at unsignalized crossings, typically where there are two travel lanes in
each direction. A minimum crossing volume of 20 pedestrians per hour is typically required, as
discussed in Section 2.1.3. However, also as noted in Section 2.1.6, there may be cases where
the combination of high pedestrian and traffic volumes may make application of RRFBs
inappropriate. Figure 2a and Figure 2b illustrate City of Boulder recommendations for the use of
RRFBs overlain on the MUTCD Hawk beacon and Pedestrian Traffic Signal warrant guidelines.
The City of Boulder recommendations are based on safety and operational evaluations
performed over the years at high volume RRFB locations.
In many cases, either HAWK beacons or RRFBs could be considered for application, and the
final decision should be based on engineering judgment. Factors that should be considered
include: automobile, bicycle and pedestrian volumes, vehicular speeds, crossing distances, the
presence of a median or not, potential impact to corridor signal progression, proximity to
signalized intersection, and vehicle queue formation.
2.2.8 Signal Progression and Traffic Operational Considerations
The installation of RRFBs, HAWK beacons, or pedestrian traffic signals can all have a
significant impact on the automobile traffic operation in a corridor. The automobile and
pedestrian crossing volumes, the spacing to the adjacent signalized intersections, the type of
pedestrian population (college students, elementary students, elderly, a mix) should all be
considered when selecting the crossing treatment type and how it will be operated. Where
practical, HAWK beacons and pedestrian traffic signals should be coordinated with the signal
progression in the corridor to minimize the impact of the new traffic signal on corridor traffic flow.
However, coordinated signals may be less responsive to pedestrian actuation, and the delay in
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 11
pedestrian service may result in some pedestrians crossing against the signal rather than
waiting. Not coordinating the pedestrian crossing signals may result in unacceptable increases
in automobile congestion and delay.
RRFBs used at high volume pedestrian crossings in congested roadway corridors can also have
a significant impact on automobile congestion and compromise effective signal progression.
The RRFB limit line in Figure 2 can help minimize this problem.
Once again, engineering judgment will need to be applied to reach the best compromise for all
involved.
2.2.9 Differential Vehicle Queue Lengths and Pedestrian Safety
A pedestrian crossing of a roadway with two or more lanes in a single direction has the potential
for "multiple threat" type accidents. A multiple threat accident is when one lane of traffic stops
for a pedestrian and obscures the view of the crossing pedestrian to a motorist in the adjacent
travel lane. The result is that a pedestrian can step in front of a vehicle that is approaching too
fast to stop. This condition is exacerbated when there are vehicle queues that back across the
pedestrian crossing. If the queue in one lane backs into the crossing and is much longer than
the queue in the adjacent lane, a motorist would commonly assume that the stopped traffic in
one lane is the result of the queuing (which may usually be the case). Now if a vehicle in one
lane stops for a pedestrian, instead of the queue, there is an even greater chance for a multiple
threat accident.
Therefore it is important for the engineer to be aware of the formation of queues to and across
the pedestrian crossing from a downstream intersection. It is even more important for the
engineer to be aware of routine occurrence of one queue longer than the other across the
pedestrian crossing. The Operational Observations section of the Crossing Location Evaluation
Worksheet has a place to note this occurrence.
When deciding to install an uncontrolled crossing treatment (or not), the engineer should
consider if differential vehicle queue lengths is an issue, and if so, can they be mitigated (say by
signal timing adjustments at the downstream intersection). If differential queues can not be
minimized, it may be reason to not install an unprotected crossing treatment (such as Type A, B,
or C).
2.2.10 Unmarked Pedestrian Crossing Facilitation
Staff is aware of the fact that there are locations where pedestrians regularly cross arterial
roadways yet the crossing does not serve a multi-use path or a school, and the pedestrian
volume is below the minimum thresholds in Figure 1 for installing the types of marked and
signed treatments detailed in Table 1. These locations typically occur on 4-lane roadways (such
as at the intersection of 23�d/Canyon) or 6-lane roadways (such as at the intersection of
Broadway/Ash), and often serve transit stops in the area. In some cases, subject to engineering
judgment, it may be appropriate to install treatments that facilitate pedestrian or bicycle
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 12
crossings but stop short of the signed and marked crossing treatments defined in Table 1. This
type of treatment or pedestrian facilitation may include curb ramps and/or a raised median
refuge, but no effort is made to attract pedestrians to this crossing. The treatments simply
acknowledge the low volume, but regular pedestrian crossing that occurs at a location.
Installing these treatments does not endorse the use of the crossing nor attempt to attract new
users to the crossing. They simply acknowledge that the crossing is occurring, will not likely go
away, and some level of facilitation can make it safer for the pedestrians or bicyclists that are
using the crossing already. The only other option would be to ignore the crossing, but staff does
not believe this is an appropriate response. These treatments will only be considered if the
location is more than 300 feet from the nearest signed and marked pedestrian crossing
(whether it is controlled or uncontrolled), and it is believed that there is little potential to redirect
pedestrians to a more defined crossing location.
2.2.11 Pedestrian Crossing Treatments at Higher Speed Roadways with Rural Character
Even though most Boulder streets have speed limits of 35 mph or less, there are some
locations, particularly on the edges of the city, where speed limits are 40 or 45 miles per hour
and roadways are transitioning between City and Boulder County jurisdiction. County roads
may increase to 50 miles per hour just beyond City limits. In this context, there may be
conditions that necessitate the installation of pedestrian crossings where speeds are higher and
special consideration is warranted. Boulder County Transportation staff also encountered these
situations (ex. 75th St. from Jay to Lookout). For reference, Boulder County staff has utilized
Boulder's PCTIGs as a starting point and modified them to address this type of higher speed
roadway where pedestrian crossings may be needed. The County's approach is to require
there to be a refuge median and enhanced signing at any crossing where the speed limit is 40
or 45 (although they currently do not use RRFBs). Where speed limits are greater than 45, the
County considers if the speed limit can reasonably be lowered to effect a slower travel speed
before declining to install an at grade crossing.
In this context, it is recommended that engineering judgment be applied and consideration be
given to providing an uncontrolled at-grade crossing treatment only if the speed limit can be
effectively reduced to 40 mph and a raised refuge median is constructed has part of the
crossing treatment (See Treatment Type E).

Notes:
1. Painted medians can never be considered a refuge for a crossing pedestrian. Similarly,a 4 foot wide raised median next to a left turn lane can only be considered a refuge for pedestrians
if the left turning volume is less than 20 vehicles per hour(meaning that in most cases the left turn lane is not occupied while the pedestrian is crossing).
2. A multi le threat lane is defned as a throu h lane where it is ossible for a edestrian to ste out from in front of a sto ed vehicle in the ad�acent travel lane either throu h or tum lane.
Treatment Descriptions:
A Install marked crosswalk with enhanced road-side signs
Specific Guidance: Install marked crosswalk with"State Law-Yield to Pedestrian"signs mounted on the side of the roadway with standard(W11-2)
advance pedestrian warning signs;use S1-1 signs for School Crossing locations.
B Install marked crosswalk with enhanced road-side and in-roadway(bollard mounted)signs
Specific Guidance: Install marked crosswalk with"State Law-Yield to Pedestrian"signs mounted on the side of the roadway and on in-roadway
bollards;use standard(W11-2)advance pedestrian waming signs;use S1-1 signs for School Crossing locations.
C Install marked crosswalk with enhanced signs and geometric improvements to increase pedestrian visibility and reduce exposure
Specific Guidance: For 2 or 3-lane roadways,install marked crosswalk with"State Law-Yield to Pedestrian"signs mounted on the side of the roadway
and on in-roadway bollards or median mounted signs;use standard(W11-2)advance pedestrian warning signs;use S1-1 signs for School Crossing
locations. Add neckdowns or median refuge islands to shorten the pedestrian crossing distance and increase pedestrian visibility to motorists.
p Install marked crosswalk with enhanced signs,pedestrian activated RRFBs,and geometric improvements to increase pedestrian visibility
and reduce exposure
Specific Guidance: Install raised median refuge island(unless it is a one-way street or one already exists)to shorten the pedestrian crossing distance
and increase pedestrian visibility to motorists. [If a median refuge can not be constructed on a two-way street,Go To Scenario F]. Install marked
crosswalk with"State Law-Yield to Pedestrian"signs WITH pedestrian activated RRFBs mounted on the side of the roadway and on median mounted
signs;use standard(W11-2)advance pedestrian warning signs;use S1-1 signs for School Crossing locations. Consider adding neckdowns at the
crossing if on-street parking exists on the roadway and storm drain considerations will allow. (Note:If pedestrian volume falls above the RRFB limit line
on Figure 2,consider Hawk beacon,pedestrian traffic signal,or grade-separated crossing.]
E Do not install marked crosswalk at uncontrolled crossing. Determine if the speed limit can be effectively reduced to 40 mph AND a raised
refuge median can be insta/led. If so,uUiize Scenario D criteria above. If this is not possible,or if pedestrian volume falls above the RRFB
limit line on Figure 2,consider HAWK beacon,pedestrian tratfic signal,or grade-separated crossing.
Specific Guidance: Consider HAWK beacon,pedestrian traffic signal or grade-separated crossing;application of these treatments will consider corridor
signal progression,existing grades,phyiscal contraints,and other engieering factors
F Do not install marked crosswalk at uncontrolled crossing with 3 or more THROUGH lanes per direction or where the speed limit is>_45 mph
and/or there is not a median refuge on a 5-lane crossing. Consider HAWK beacon,pedestrian traffic signal,or grade-separated crossing.
Specific Guidance: Consider HAWK beacon,pedestrian traffic signal or grade-separated crossing;application of these treatments will consider corridor
signal progression,existing grades,phyiscal contraints,and other engieering factors

RRFB SITES AND OBSERVED IMPACTS TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
3.0 SUPPLEMENTAL POLICIES
This section contains discussion of supplemental policies to guide the installation of crossing
treatments in the City of Boulder.
3.1 Crosswalk Lighting
Research provided by the FHWA recommends that adequate nighttime lighting should be
provided at marked crosswalks to enhance the safety of pedestrians crossing at night.
Crosswalk lighting will be provided at all crosswalks utilizing traffic signals, HAWK beacons and
RRFBs. Crosswalk lighting will be provided at all other marked crosswalks, unless engineering
judgement suggests crosswalk lighting is not needed. The placement and level of crosswalk
lighting will be determined by engineering judgement at all crossing treatments.
3.2 Avoiding Overuse of Crossing Treatments
The FHWA recommends that overuse of crosswalk markings should be avoided to maximize
their effectiveness. Crosswalks and sign treatments (such as the "State Law — Yield to
Pedestrians" and rectangular rapid flash beacon signs) should be used discriminately within the
City of Boulder so that the effectiveness of these treatments is not deteriorated by overuse.
Although these treatments may be effective at individual locations, overuse of these treatments
city-wide may lead to a decrease in their value as drivers become desensitized to them.
Minimum pedestrian and vehicular volume criteria have been established in this document with
this in mind.
3.3 Multi-Use Path Crossings
Crossing locations where a multi-use path crosses a roadway should include a marked and
signed crosswalk at a minimum, regardless of pedestrian crossing volumes, as long as the
minimum vehicular volume criteria in Section 2.1.2 is satisfied. This policy is to promote the use
of multi-use paths recognizing that roadway crossings often create barriers for pedestrians and
bicyclists and may contribute to a lack of use.
3.4 Textured and Colored Pavement Treatments
Textured, brick, and/or colored pavement treatments should typically not be used in lieu of a
marked crosswalk. When such treatments are used they are often aesthetic and not considered
traffic control devices. Retroreflective pavement markings are required at any location serving
as a marked crosswalk. Exceptions are granted for signalized intersection crossings, right-turn
bypass (raised) crossings, and for multi-use path crossings at driveways and unsignalized
intersections where the City has developed other treatments designed to call attention to the
crossings.
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 19
3.5 Accessible Crosswalks
It is the goal of the City of Boulder that all crosswalks installed will comply with the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) to maximize mobility for all users. Where a new crosswalk is
installed in a curbed roadway, curb ramps will include a detectable warning surface. The City
intends to retrofit existing non-ADA compliant curb ramps with detectable warning surfaces as
part of its on-going sidewalk maintenance program.
3.6 Raised Crossings at Right-Turn Bypass Islands
Raised pedestrian crossings at right-turn bypass islands meet the goals of these guidelines by
improving visibility for pedestrians, improving accessibility, and helping to mitigate the speed of
right-turning vehicle traffic. City staff will review all new or proposed right-turn bypass
movements to determine if a raised crossing should be installed. If deemed feasible, a raised
crossing will be incorporated into the design.
3.7 Removal of Treatments
Conditions that contribute to the need for a crosswalk or crossing treatments may change over
time, and an existing crosswalk or treatment may no longer be needed. When a roadway
surface is to be impacted by reconstruction or resurfacing, a review of any unprotected
crosswalks should be performed to determine their use and need. If the use of a crosswalk is
less than half of that which would be required for it to be warranted based on the criteria
established in these guidelines for a new installation, the crosswalk should not be replaced
when the construction or resurfacing is done and any other treatments will be removed. In such
cases, residents and property owners within 1000' of walking distance to the crosswalk in
question will be notified via mail. In addition, notices will be visibly posted for 30 days prior at
the crossing location to inform the public of the intent to remove them. City contact information
will be provided on these mailings and notices. Should concerns arise from the public as a
result of that mailing or from the notification sign at the crosswalk, staff may then begin a more
substantial public process with concerned parties.

4.0 NEXT STEPS
The City of Boulder is committed to providing safe and effective pedestrian crossing treatments
and will continue to evaluate the criteria and treatments being used to implement treatments
throughout the City. Specifically, City staff will carry out the following "Next Steps" to ensure
that the pedestrian crossing treatment program meets the goals defined in this document:
■ Continue testing and evaluation of new multi-lane crossing treatments. These treatments
may include variations and/or combinations of the existing RRFB signs to increase both
driver and pedestrian awareness at crosswalks. As newer technologies continue to
develop into more viable options, passive detection devices such as microwave or
video detection may also be tested. As performed for existing devices in the City,
evaluation of new devices will include both the effectiveness of devices and a safety
(accident history) analysis. Although operational impacts can be evaluated within
months of installation of a treatment, it should be noted that safety analysis will require
years of accident data to provide relevant results.
■ As Federal signing standards continue to become more progressive with respect to
enhanced pedestrian signing, strive to become compliant with the standards. This can
be accomplished through a combination of bringing Boulder's policies/standards more in
line with Federal standards as well as utilizing Boulder's significant experience to help
shape future changes to Federal standards.
■ Continue to evaluate the City's policy towards provision of curb ramps and median
breaks at crossing locations where crosswalks are not provided due to speed, volume,
or other consideration.
■ Stay current with the latest pedestrian crossing research being performed at the federal,
state, and municipal level. As more communities strive to increase the viability of
pedestrian mode use additional studies and new findings are being made available. The
City of Boulder will look to utilize this research to improve its own use of pedestrian
crossing treatments.
■ Continue to receive feedback from City of Boulder citizens with respect to various
crossing treatments and the criteria established in this document to implement these
treatments.
■ Continue to work with the Transportation Advisory Board and City Council to implement
policies, including these guidelines and any future amendments to this document, to
promote the use of pedestrian facilities and the safety of people using them.
■ Coordinate with the State of Colorado to modify current state law to include the curb
ramp area the definition of a legal crosswalk so that it is clear that a motorist should yield
to a pedestrian waiting to cross at a crosswalk.
■ Develop an implementation plan to upgrade existing, qualifying crossing locations with
"State Law—Yield to Pedestrians" signs as prescribed in this document.
■ Continue to evaluate the effectiveness of raised crossings at right-turn bypass islands
and work to develop a city-wide policy for application of these treatments.
■ Collect data at crossing locations where treatments have been requested (or as defined
in the Transportation Master Plan) and apply the criteria in this document to create a list
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 21
of projects for implementation. Staff will then prioritize the list of projects and perform
crossing treatment installations based on funding availability.

A1.0 Backqround
Roadway crossings can be barriers to pedestrian travel. The decision to travel as a pedestrian
is in part dependent upon the actual and perceived ability to safely and efficiently cross
roadways along the pedestrian's intended travel route. The City of Boulder wants to encourage
pedestrian travel by providing safe and efficient roadway crossing opportunities. There are a
variety of inethods available to help facilitate pedestrian crossings on busy roadways, including
marked crosswalks, enhanced crosswalks, and traffic signals. Crosswalk enhancements may
include alternative signing, pedestrian-activated warning devices that draw attention to the
pedestrian and alert motorists to their presence at a crosswalk, and physical enhancements
intended to increase pedestrian visibility and/or reduce exposure such as neckdowns, raised
crosswalks, and median refuges.
Signalized traffic control measures to reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflicts typically increase
delays for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. This creates a conflict between providing safety
and generating operational efficiency for all modes of travel. These guidelines are tailored to
meet the needs of the City of Boulder for optimizing safety and minimizing delay. The
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines will provide a framework for identifying
locations where pedestrian crossing treatments are appropriate and should be implemented by
the City.
Application of these guidelines should accomplish the following project goals:
• Promote pedestrian travel by providing safe, efficient, and effective roadway crossing
opportunities
• Reflect the needs of our diverse range of pedestrian age and ability groups
• Provide for a balance between the demand for treatments and resources to implement
them
• Achieve a reasonable balance of impacts to all modes of travel
A1.1 Standards and Policies
Upon beginning the process of determining pedestrian crossing installation criteria, an extensive
review of the latest available technical literature was conducted. This current effort was
intended to build upon the research conducted during the previous (1996 and 2006 efforts.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) is the national standard for
establishing traffic control on roadways throughout the United States and has been adopted by
the City of Boulder as the City standard. Although the MUTCD does provide pedestrian
crossing warrant criteria for the installation of pedestrian traffic signals, these warrants have
been controversial in that signals are typically very hard to justify. According to the Federal
Highway Administration's report on pedestrian signalization alternatives (July 1985), "The
existing [1978] MUTCD Minimum Pedestrian Volume Warrant is highly impractical for most real-
world conditions and is largely ignored by the traffic engineering community." The MUTCD also
offers little guidance with respect to the installation of marked crosswalks, stating that
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 24
"crosswalks should be marked at all intersections where there is a substantial conflict between
vehicular and pedestrian movements" and that an "engineering study should be performed
before they are installed at (uncontrolled) locations."
In response to the controversial MUTCD pedestrian volume and school crossing traffic signal
warrants, and lack of guidance by the MUTCD with respect to the installation of marked
crosswalks, some agencies have developed their own unique policies and procedures.
Generally, these documents supplement the basic provisions of the MUTCD with more detailed
criteria based on their own research and field studies.
In 1997, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) adopted the "Design and Safety of
Pedestrian Facilities"2 as a Recommended Practice. This document built on MUTCD policies
and guidelines and provided thresholds for the installation of marked crosswalks at uncontrolled
locations based on those developed by Steven A Smith and Richard L. Knoblauch3. These
guidelines provide recommended thresholds for marked crosswalks based on minimum hourly
pedestrian volume, average daily traffic volumes, roadway configuration (laneage and presence
of inedian refuges).
In 2002 the FHWA published a report titled, "Safety Effects of Marked vs. Unmarked Crosswalks
at Uncontrolled Locations: Executive Summary and Recommended Guidelines"'. Based on a
five-year safety analysis at 1,000 marked crosswalks and 1,000 unmarked crossing locations,
this report provides recommendations for installing marked crosswalks and enhancements
based on roadway volume, speed, and laneage. The report suggests that on two-lane
roadways, marked crosswalks alone at uncontrolled locations have no effect on pedestrian
accident rates. The report also suggests that, on multi-lane roadways with a traffic volume
greater than 12,000 vehicles per day, marked crosswalks alone (without any other treatments)
are associated with higher vehicle-pedestrian accidents rates compared to unmarked locations.
Several years ago the Virginia Department of Transportation adopted a set of guidelines4 for the
installation of marked crosswalks that built upon the FHWA recommendations and provided
more detailed guidance with respect to what types of crosswalk enhancements may be
appropriate for a given set of roadway. These guidelines provided five basic levels of devices
given the conditions present.
Level 1: standard crosswalk, raised crossing, rumble strips
Level2: high-visibility crosswalks (retroreflective white markings and textured pavements)
Level 3: refuge islands, split-pedestrian crossover, neckdowns
Level 4: overhead signs and flashing beacons, in-roadway warning lights
Level 5: pedestrian-actuated traffic signals, grade-separated crossings
During the research review, it was noted that the City of Boulder's existing minimum pedestrian
volume thresholds (based on the 1996 document) for basic crossing treatments were typically
higher than those adopted by the agencies researched. The Virginia guidelines4, for instance,
state a minimum requirement of 20 pedestrians per hour (15 elderly and/or children) or 60 in
four hours crossing at the location in question. The City of San Jose, CAS have adopted
guidelines that require at least 15 pedestrians crossing the street during the highest one-hour
period or 25 pedestrians crossing during the highest consecutive two-hour period. This is in
comparison to the previously adopted City of Boulder thresholds of 100 pedestrians per hour or
50 pedestrians per hour during the peak four hours. It is believed that this downward trend in
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 25
pedestrian volume necessary to warrant treatments is both a result of increased efforts by
agencies to accommodate pedestrians and provide safer and more efficient pedestrian facilities.
A1.2 Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements
A wide range of crossing enhancements (treatments used to increase the effectiveness of
marked crosswalks) are being used in other communities in the United States and elsewhere
which have been considered for use in the City of Boulder. The most comprehensive resource
for information relative to these devices, including pros and cons, costs, and effectiveness, is
the Alternative Treatments for At-Grade Pedestrian Crossinas6. Enhancements being used
elsewhere include:
• Automated detection • Markings and legends
• Curb extensions • Overhead signs
• In-pavement lighting • Pedestrian railings
• Flags • Raised markers (with LEDs)
• Flashing beacons • Refuge islands
• In-roadway signs • Street lighting
• Lane reductions • Raised crossings
• Rumble strips • Pavement treatments
Many of these treatments are being used and/or have been tested as "demonstration" devices
in the City of Boulder, with varying degrees of success. Devices used in the City of Boulder
have included most of the physical devices shown above, in addition to demonstration devices
such as in-pavement lighting, rumble strips, flashing signs, in-roadway signs, and alternative
signs and markings (such as the "State Law Yield-to-Pedestrians" signs and advance yield
markings).
In 2000, city staff began demonstrating two new enhanced pedestrian crossing treatments. The
purpose of these treatments was to draw attention to high volume pedestrian crossing locations
and to encourage vehicles to have better compliance with their legal requirement to yield to
pedestrians in these locations.
The first demonstration was a new, multi-colored sign which stated "State Law - YIELD to
Pedestrians in Crosswalk." The signs were placed on an orange barrel or bollard in the street
and mounted on a standard assembly at the side of the street. The other demonstration was
pedestrian actuated flashing lights imbedded in a standard pedestrian warning sign, mounted at
the side of the road and on medians in the center of the road. These lights flash when a
pedestrian pushes a button. Over the past 11 years, staff has been expanding the use of these
demonstration devices to other locations within the city.
The City of Boulder will continue to stay abreast of the latest crossing enhancement
technologies and research and will continue to test and modify its own applications to maximize
the safety and efficiency of these treatments. A discussion of the "Next Steps" involved in this
process is included in Section 4.0
City of Bou/der
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment lnstallation Guidelines Page 26
A1.3 Evaluation of Demonstration Devices Used in the City of Boulder
Over the past 14 years, the City of Boulder has evaluated driver compliance at crosswalks both
before and after the installation of"demonstration devices". The devices evaluated included:
■ "State Law—Yield to Pedestrians" Signs and Bollards (used at 2 or 3-lane crossings)
■ Pedestrian Activated Flashing (or RRFB) Signs (used primarily at multi-lane crossings)
■ Rumble strips
In addition to evaluating the effectiveness of these devices in terms of driver compliance,
accident histories were compiled to compare the safety effects of the demonstration devices
both before and after installation.
The evaluations have showed that the "State Law -Yield" and RRFB devices are effective at
getting more vehicles to comply with state law and yield to pedestrians in crosswalks than if not
installed. They accomplish this with a relatively minor impact to vehicle delay. In addition, the
evaluation showed that at locations with "State Law — Yield to Pedestrians" signs, there were
very few examples of increased accident frequency for either rear-end collisions or accidents
involving pedestrians or bicyclists being hit by a motor vehicle. The majority of accident
frequencies either stayed the same or was reduced at locations studied.
At locations using the pedestrian-actuated flashing signs, there were increases in rear-end
collision frequencies at some locations and increases in the frequency of pedestrians or bicycles
being hit in the crosswalk at several locations. Injury accident frequencies also increased at
many locations. It should be noted that, since these devices were installed primarily at multi-
lane crossing locations, the effectiveness of these devices cannot be directly compared to the
"State-Law" signs.
While the pedestrian-actuated flashing signs do not change the rules of the roadway, the
effectiveness of encouraging vehicles to yield to pedestrians has resulted in more vehicles
stopping for pedestrians, which has further resulted in more rear-end collisions (this same
phenomenon exists when new traffic signals are installed in the roadway). It is possible that the
increased compliance of motor vehicles yielding to pedestrians is also resulting in some
pedestrians and bicyclists using less caution when they cross which in turn results in an
increase in vehicle-pedestrian and vehicle-bicycle accidents.
Further analysis of the safety effects of these devices is recommended so that a larger sample
of data may be obtained and accident trends related to physical and environmental variables
may be identified.
