volumes exceeding 10,000. An engineering <br />investigation to determine adequate sight <br />distance, traffic speeds, gap availability and <br />pedestrian volumes shall determine the <br />applicability of the above criteria. <br />5) Where right-of-way, travel lane, and bike lane <br />configuration allow for their construction, curb <br />extensions and/or raised median islands should <br />be provided at mid-block crossings to increase <br />pedestrian and driver visibility, and to reduce <br />pedestrian crossing distances. (See Figure 12). <br />6) Mid-block crossings should be marked with <br />ladder-style (continental) markings to increase <br />visibility. <br />7) The need for mid-block pedestrian crossings <br />will be evaluated by the City of Eugene Public <br />Works Transportation Division. A determination <br />of the need for amid-block crossing will be <br />issued by the Division and will be based on <br />relevant factors established by the Manual on <br />Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) <br />including sight distance, vehicle speed, accident <br />records, illumination, traffic volumes, type of <br />pedestrian, nearby pedestrian generators, and <br />other factors that are used to satisfy a warrant. <br />Mid-block crossings may be provided with <br />pedestrian-activated signals and appropriate <br />advance warning devices upon a finding, based <br />on traffic engineering study, that the location <br />satisfies warrants established in the Manual for <br />Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Established <br />school crossings are high-priority locations for <br />.such studies. <br />Figure 12 <br />® Curb F_xtension <br />~ ~ ~ <br />1 ~.em.er Reruge <br />~, <br />Ilt~lll~ <br />ADA-Compliant <br />I iCu ib Rampi I I <br /> <br />66 <br />
