Schools and universities looking to be safer and prevent accidents should review their pedestrian-safety efforts. Over the last several years, a variety of research has assessed the effectiveness of pedestrian-safety programs. In one study, researchers found that marked crosswalks had no effect on reducing pedestrian accidents. Even more counterintuitive was a finding that on heavy-traffic, multilane streets, marked crosswalks were associated with greater numbers of pedestrian accidents--not fewer. These findings, coupled with the availability of new technologies and new programs aimed at increasing pedestrian safety, suggest that education institutions can improve their safety efforts. In this article, the author offers five suggestions that school safety officials and administrators should consider when developing a pedestrian-safety or traffic-calming program.
