PURPOSE OF SURVEY<br />
The purpose of this survey is to identify the state of the art and state of the practice in pedestrian<br />
signal timing and the use of pedestrian signals. This Web-based survey will have as its objective the<br />
development of a body of knowledge on walking speeds as they relate to special user populations,<br />
including older persons. We also are requesting in<strong>for</strong>mation regarding pedestrian countdown (PCD)<br />
signals, including comprehension, number of countdown signals in a jurisdiction, advantages, and<br />
challenges.<br />
INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Complete the survey questions as accurately as time permits. If your jurisdiction does not use PCD<br />
signals, there are only three questions <strong>for</strong> you to answer in this survey. If your jurisdiction does have<br />
PCD signals, there are a total of 21 survey questions. Do not worry if you cannot answer every<br />
question; any in<strong>for</strong>mation you can provide will be useful and is appreciated.<br />
