Question 4
How many signalized intersections have pedestrian signals? _____ (Q4)
Questions 5a and 5b
At intersections with pedestrian signals, how do you calculate the duration of the pedestrian signal
intervals?
WALK interval: ______________________________________________________________ (Q5a)
Pedestrian clearance time: ____________________________________________________ (Q5b)
Question 6
If walking speed is used in the calculation, what walking speed do you use?
a) _____ feet/second (ft./sec.) is always used (Q6a)
b) _____ variable, depending on the following considerations:
Question 7
__________________________________________________________________________
Do you include the yellow and all-red intervals for the parallel vehicular phase in satisfying the
calculated pedestrian clearance time? (For example, with a calculated pedestrian clearance time of
20 sec., 15 sec. would be during the vehicular green, 4 sec. during the yellow interval, and 1 sec.
during the all-red interval.)
a) No—calculated time is always contained within just the green.
b) Yes—yellow and all-red time are always used to partially satisfy the calculated time.
c) Sometimes, depending on:
Question 8
___________________________________________________________
