Abstract

The gate and channelization devices presented in this paper should be used to alert pedestrians of the increased risk associated with crossing an LRT track alignment. Pedestrian considerations should guide (along with other considerations) LRT system planning and design. If pedestrians' needs are inappropriately accounted for during system planning and design, the LRT agency could experience a higher than average LRV/pedestrian collision experience (leading to necessary and expensive system retrofits) or reduced LRV operating speeds, which would negatively affect LRT operations and potential ridership.
