The guidance in this report is intended to provide practitioners with useful information related to establishing safe crossings at roundabouts and CTLs for pedestrians who are blind. The specific focus areas are to provide guidance on: • Identifying when a pedestrian crossing problem may be present, • Tying treatment solutions to specific crossing challenges faced by the pedestrian population, • Conducting pedestrian/vehicle studies that help identify appropriate treatment strategies, • Quantifying the accessibility performance at a particular crossing, • Presenting findings from selective field studies performed through this research, • Developing approaches for extending research findings to other locations, and • Discussing implications for the practitioner in terms of treatment selection and facility design.
