Marked crossings, in the appropriate roadway context, enhance safety by providing a dedicated area for people walking or biking to cross the street, thereby reducing the likelihood of serious injuries and fatalities. This metric will help Active Transportation Program (ATP) grantees evaluate pedestrian behavior before and after the installation of crossings and measure the effectiveness of crosswalk design and its influence on pedestrian or cyclist behavior.
