6.8. Medians

6.8.4. Medians at Pedestrian Crossings

Locations where a significant number of pedestrians are likely to be crossing the roadway at mid-block may warrant positive separation of opposing traffic using a median for pedestrian refuge. Signals are not typically warranted at these locations. Two-phase pedestrian crossings may be required when the roadway width requires excessive pedestrian crossing time (i.e. 6-lane section with dual left turn lanes and a right turn lane, etc). In the case of a two-phase pedestrian crossing, the median shall be wide enough to provide an ADA compliant pedestrian refuge area.
