Pedestrian Crosswalk Studies

Design crossings people trust—and drivers respect.

Safe, efficient pedestrian movement is essential to traffic engineering. DeShazo conducts Pedestrian Crosswalk Studies to determine where crossings are needed, how they should be designed, and what measures best protect people on foot and on bicycle.

Proven Experience

We’ve completed crosswalk studies across schools, urban corridors, and mixed-use developments around North Texas—balancing traffic flow with pedestrian accessibility. Each study delivers clear, data-driven recommendations to enhance safety and mobility.

Get Started

What we do

Site evaluation: assess pedestrian demand, walking routes, and nearby land uses (schools, transit stops, community facilities).
Traffic & safety analysis: measure volumes, vehicle speeds, sight distance, and crash history to set treatment level.
Design recommendations: placement, markings, lighting, curb ramps, refuge islands, and ADA-compliant features.
Enhancement options: RRFBs, PHBs, curb extensions, median islands, and signal integration.
Compliance & standards: MUTCD/TXDOT conformance and local policy alignment.

Why it matters

Improves safety & visibility at conflict points for all users.
Reduces glare and confusion with high-contrast markings and right-sized control.
Supports walking & transit with legible, reliable crossings that knit activity centers.
Backed by data so agencies can prioritize, fund, and implement with confidence.

North Texas context

We integrate crosswalk design with corridor operations, transit stops, lighting, drainage, and adjacent land uses—so treatments perform in the real world, not just on paper.
