scope:

This ITE Informational report presents a series of case studies that demonstrate how public agencies have successfully implemented decorative crosswalks to meet their community's desires for enhanced urban environments without sacrificing pedestrian safety. The case studies illustrate ways in which communities have worked with local agencies to add artistic features to crosswalks in a safe and effective manner and highlight the nuances involved in their planning and prioritization, installation and implementation, and maintenance and upkeep. Design considerations and policy decisions are also discussed regarding current federal guidance.
