STEP 2.4 Review and Understand Results Mitigation Measures Once the assessment is complete, it may be necessary to consider mitigation measures to ensure the crossing is as comfortable as possible. This section summarises what type of actions may be considered. Pedestrian Comfort Level on the Crossing arm is C-, D or E The Pedestrian Comfort Level could be improved by adjusting the signal timings, increasing the width of the crossing or a combination of these two measures. The crossing should then be re-assessed to ensure the solution will be comfortable for users. Pedestrian Comfort Level when using the island (space to pass) is C-, D or E The Pedestrian Comfort Level could be improved by adjusting the signal timings, increasing the width of the island or a combination of these two measures. The design of the crossing could also be reconsidered as a straight across crossing may work better in this situation. The crossing should then be re-assessed to ensure the solution will be comfortable for users. More than two rows of people form on the island when waiting to cross Three rows of people are likely to be acceptable at peak times. However if this is happening throughout the day, or the spreadsheet predicts more than three rows of people, it is important to try and reduce the number of rows forming to ensure the crossing is comfortable. This can be achieved by adjusting the signal timings, increasing the width of the crossing, or a combination of these two measures. The design of the crossing could also be reconsidered. A straight across crossing may work better in this situation. The crossing should then be re-assessed to ensure the solution will be comfortable for users. 19
