Abstract

The midblock crosswalks can improve pedestrians’ accessibility while may decrease vehicle flow performance in arterials with the dense signalized intersections in an urban area. This study compares the effectiveness of different midblock crosswalk treatments in urban areas where nearby traffic signals are coordinated. Signalized single stage and two stage as well as unsignalized single stage and two stage crosswalks are evaluated in terms of vehicles and pedestrian delays against various demand levels. Signalized two stage crosswalks caused lower average user delays as compared to signalized single stage crosswalks. The ratio of average vehicle and pedestrian delays under optimal signal settings may differ for each crosswalk type even though the average user delays are nearly the same.
