Traffic Signal Control Strategies for Pedestrians and Bicyclists
In the United States, traffic signal timing is traditionally developed to minimize motor vehicle delay at
signalized intersections, with minimal attention paid to the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists. The
unintended consequence is often diminished safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Research Report 969:
Traffic Signal Control Strategies for Pedestrians and Bicyclists is
a guidebook that provides tools, performance measures, and
policy information to help agencies design and operate
signalized intersections in a way that improves safety and
service for pedestrians and bicyclists while still meeting the
needs of motorized road users.
Supplemental to the report are presentations of
preliminary findings,
strategies, and
summary overview.
