Pedestrian Push Button Plaques and Signs

Technical Brief

October 2023

Pedestrian Push Button Plaques and Signs

Special Task Force of Traffic Engineering Council

Pedestrian plaques or signs at traffic signals have evolved from a simply informational purpose, to addressing pedestrian actuation, and more recently to educating the user regarding pedestrian signal indications. Changes to the design of signalized intersections to support the Americans with Disabilities Act and more common use of two accessible curb ramps per intersection corner, has further affected the need for and function of these signs. In the context of the Notice of Proposed Amendments (NPA) in advance of rulemaking for the upcoming 11th edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the final federal rule for the Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way, this paper draws from a survey of practice to evaluate and better understand how practitioners utilize pedestrian push button signs and seek input on how greater uniformity might be possible.

Case Studies of Equity in Transportation Practices

ITE Equity Committee

Equity is not achieved via a single path; instead, it is achieved through dedicated commitment to process and re-evaluation throughout an entire project. This report showcases a compendium of case studies that meaningfully incorporated equity components in transportation projects using innovative strategies and methods. Examples of case studies include Mississauga Pedestrian Master Plan, New York City Streets Plan, San José’s Emerging Mobility Action Plan, Seattle Department of Transportation Safe Routes to School Equity Analysis, and Regional Equity Strategy Initial Work Plan (Puget Sound Regional Council). This report aims to serve as a reference for notable avenues and strategies to advance equitable transportation at every level, from local projects to regional plans.

Vehicle-Miles Traveled (VMT) as a Metric for Sustainability

Vehicle-Miles Traveled (VMT) as a Metric for Sustainability

ITE Sustainability Standing Committee

Examples and case studies described in this report show that vehicle travel reduction programs can provide more compact and multimodal communities. To be successful, they must be well planned and responsive to specific conditions and needs. Most vehicle travel strategies only affect a portion of total vehicle travel, such as commute, local, or urban travel, so reducing total VMT requires integrated programs that affect all types of travel.

Two-Way Separated Bike Lanes at Railroad Grade Crossings

ITE Railroad Grade Crossing Committee | ITE Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee

Two-way separated bicycle lanes can be challenging to implement due to the many conflicting movements involved. A gated railroad grade crossing requires particularly high levels of care in handling crossing movements. Adding bicycle movements outside of the vehicle space can greatly increase the complexity.
