Distance to Adjacent Pedestrian Crossing Facilities <br />• If there is a nearby pedestrian crossing facility that can serve the <br />same movements with a shorter travel time —and if this nearby <br />crossing facility can be seen from the crossing location being stud- <br />ied —the crossing location being studied may not be needed. <br />• In some cases, an existing pedestrian crossing may not serve the <br />pedestrian movements of the area and should be moved to a more <br />appropriate location. <br />The other location may actually provide a shorter travel time when <br />considering the time waiting to cross. <br />• If pedestrians are already crossing at a location, they are unlikely <br />to choose to cross at another location unless it is shorter, regardless <br />of safety. It is important to provide crossings at locations where <br />pedestrians are already crossing, or consider creating physical bar- <br />riers if safety can be achieved and direction to a nearby crossing is <br />provided. <br />Distance to Adjacent Intersections with Ali -Way Stop, Signal, <br />oundabout Control <br />• An adjacent controlled crossing location may provide a shorter <br />travel time when considering the time waiting to cross. <br />Origins and Destinations <br />• Review pedestrian paths between nearby origins and destinations. <br />• Typical origins and destinations of importance include: <br />Bus stops to businesses and residences <br />- High -density residential to bus stops and commercial/retail <br />Hospitals and medical centers to bus stops and parking <br />- Retirement communities to bus stops and commercial retail <br />Schools/colleges/universities to housing and parking <br />Parks to residences <br />- Recreational/community centers to residences and patking <br />Theatres and museums to parking <br />Trails to parks and other trails <br />Commercial/retail space to parking <br />13 <br />
