P: Possible increase in pedestrian crash risk may occur if crosswalks are added without other crossing improvements; locations should be monitored and enhanced with other improvements if necessary before adding a crosswalk. N: Marked crosswalks should not be added alone because pedestrian crash risk may increase; treatments such as traffic calming measures, traffic signals with pedestrian signals, or other crossing safety improvements should be considered.
