Pedestrian Signal Configuration

Course No. C-4008

Credit: 4 PDH

Course Fee: $115.80 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Robert T. Hintersteiner, P.E.

Overview

This four hour course will discuss Pedestrian Signal configurations used to provide pedestrian indications at intersections for the safe crossing of pedestrians with conflicting traffic movements, that conforms to the latest 2003 Edition to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (USDOT MUTCD). It is necessary to conduct a pedestrian count across all approaches to the intersection to determine the number of pedestrians crossing, the type of pedestrian (elderly, children, adults, and/or handicap persons with different types of mobility impairments). The Traffic Engineer has to provide for pedestrians safely, while balancing vehicular traffic flow without causing delay and traffic congestion.

Students of this course will be able to master the operations, the purpose of the pedestrian signal indications, and the impacts of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements on pedestrian configurations. These relationships, if not properly mastered, can cause vehicle and pedestrian accidents within the intersection involving years of litigation.

At the conclusion of this course, the student will be able to determine:

  • The regulations governing the installation of Pedestrian Signals
  • The meaning of each Pedestrian Signal indication and its usage
  • The placement of the Pedestrian Signal within the intersection
  • When to use Accessible Pedestrian Signals and Pedestrian Detectors
  • The use of In-Roadway Lights as an alternate to midblock signals

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.
