GOAL 3 | REDUCE CONFLICTS
3.9 IMPLEMENT LEADING PEDESTRIAN INTERVALS (LPIS)
Deploy leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs) at signalized intersections, focusing on applicable High Injury Network (HIN) corridors and urban villages such as 7th Street, Rosedale, Berry, and North Main Street. Revise standard roadway project details to make LPIs the default condition at all intersections and signal replacements. Expand LPI implementation based on the positive impact already observed in improving pedestrian experiences in downtown Fort Worth, ensuring similar benefits are realized in other urban areas with high pedestrian activity. Based on the City’s current Active Transportation Plan and the forthcoming Moving 1 Million Master Transportation Plan, assess and install bicycle and pedestrian projects to increase separation and complete the active transportation network. Ensure that context-sensitive designs are used to ensure a more comfortable active transportation environment for people of all ages and abilities, including: • Grade-separated bicycle and pedestrian crossings of roadways with 55 mph+ vehicle speeds. • Use of “Bikes May Use Full Lane” signs (vs. “Share the Road”) and high visibility lane markings for shared bicycle facilities where applicable (e.g., shared lanes with vehicles that are narrower than 14’). • Install side paths or separated, raised, or protected bicycle facilities on roadways with speeds exceeding 35 mph, following the guidelines outlined in the FHWA Bikeway Selection Guide.
