Abstract

Pedestrian crossings are a staple of city design and a key feature both in terms of risk of road trauma and impacts on pedestrian experience. In car-dominated environments, the challenge is in retrofitting existing infrastructure to enable and encourage walking. It is unclear what diverse people might find difficult and to what extent existing design recommendations identify those needs.
