9.13.6 Crosswalks

crosswalks

Provide crosswalks at all intersections of roads and walkways/bikeways.  When laying out the crosswalk, consider the following:  

• Extend walk's paving across the road in heavily used areas.  Raised crosswalks eliminate the need for curb ramps in sidewalks and provide barrier free access.

• Provide a clear line of sight for motorist and pedestrians.  Do not plant in sight lines. Walkways should meet the road at 90 degree angles.

• Adequate light should be provided.
