Sec. 804.803. - Basic Justification for Marking a Crosswalk.

Crossings at uncontrolled intersections should be marked where all of the following are the case: i. Sufficient demand exists to justify the installation of a crosswalk. An uncontrolled crossing should be identified as a candidate for marking if there is a demonstrated need for a marked crosswalk. Need can be demonstrated by either of the following: — The crosswalk would serve 20 pedestrians per hour during the peak hour, 15 elderly and/or children per hour, or 60 pedestrians total for the highest consecutive four-hour period; or — The crossing is on a direct route to or from a pedestrian generator, such as a school, library, hospital, senior center, shopping center, park, employment center, and transit center or service. ii. The location is 300 feet or more from another crossing location or a controlled crossing location. iii. The location has sufficient sight distance (sight distance in feet should be greater than 10 times the speed limit) and/or sight distance will be improved prior to crosswalk marking. iv. Safety considerations do not preclude a crosswalk. v. Figure 1 should be used to determine if special treatments are needed to ensure safe crossing at uncontrolled locations.
