2.4 Summary<br />
The content of this module is summarized as follows:<br />
• <strong>Road</strong>way design can both increase and reduce traffic risk for pedestrians through<br />
presence or absence of pedestrian facilities such as sidewalks and signalized crossings.<br />
Land-use development factors such as population density, land-use diversity or<br />
mix and the location of activities can affect pedestrian accessibility and risks.<br />
• Several strategies exist to incorporate specific attention to pedestrian <strong>safety</strong> needs<br />
in road design and land-use planning.<br />
