I Ll 1 1__l 1 volumes exceeding 10,000. An engineering investigation to determine adequate sight distance, traffic speeds, gap availability and pedestrian volumes shall determine the applicability of the above criteria. 5) Where right -of -way, travel lane, and bike lane configuration allow for their construction, curb extensions and /or raised median islands should be provided at mid -block crossings to increase pedestrian and driver visibility, and to reduce pedestrian crossing distances. ( See Figure 12). 6) Mid -block crossings should be marked with ladder -style (continental) markings to increase visibility. 7) The need for mid -block pedestrian crossings will be evaluated by the City of Eugene Public Works Transportation Division. A determination of the need for a mid -block crossing will be issued by the Division and will be based on relevant factors established by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) including sight distance, vehicle speed, accident records, illumination, traffic volumes, type of pedestrian, nearby pedestrian generators, and other factors that are used to satisfy a warrant. Mid -block crossings may be provided with pedestrian- activated signals and appropriate advance warning devices upon a finding, based on traffic engineering study, that the location satisfies warrants established in the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Established school crossings are high - priority locations for such studies. i i• • i Figure 1 2 r rri- IIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIII II IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I At -Grade Median Cut L ®� J L L .. ° Center Refuge ° ® W Curb Extenelon T T I I tI I I I I r �® T ADA- Compliant _ I I I I i I I l I l l l l l l III I I i Curb RamP I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 66 I I i l ll it U
