Fitzpatrick and TTI Senior Research Scientist Eun Sug Park — along with Michael Cynecki, a project manager with Lee Engineering in Phoenix, Arizona — wrote the article, “Evaluation of Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons, Including on High-Speed Streets,” in the latest ITE Journal issue.
A pedestrian hybrid beacon is a traffic control device placed at pedestrian crossings. Operational data collected at 10 high-speed crossing locations in Arizona showed very high driver compliance similar to findings on lower speed streets. The findings from the safety study indicated that crashes decreased after a pedestrian hybrid beacon was installed. | Read the ITE Journal Article
