Street Crossings

Street crossing routes should be configured to limit exposure to vehicular traffic by following a line that is perpendicular to the vehicular route being crossed. Crossings should be fully outside the traffic, turning, or bus bay lanes of the parallel roadway and have curb ramps or depressed curbs which lead people directly into the crossing area designated for pedestrian use.
