Pedestrian fatalities are on the rise, and 76 percent of pedestrian fatalities occur under the cover of darkness. Understanding how nighttime visibility safety countermeasures like lighting, signs and markings can save lives will help state and local agencies work towards the goal of reaching Vision Zero. Review examples of state-of-the-practice lighting techniques as well as traffic control devices that will improve nighttime visibility for pedestrians at intersections and mid-block crossings, in addition to other key locations with high pedestrian activity like transit centers, school zones and urban cores. Understand lighting techniques that will benefit all users and how the use of appropriate signing and pavement markings can help improve pedestrian crossings and intersection conspicuity at night.
