Jefferson County KY - Midblock Crossings

<div style='text-align:Left;'><p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'><span>Mid-block crossings offer pedestrians and bicyclists approved locations to legally cross a street other than a fully controlled intersection, such as an all-way stop or traffic signal.</span><span style='text-indent:-0.25in;'> Mid-block crossings are typically installed in areas
with high pedestrian activity and along pedestrian or bicyclist desire lines.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration
encourages mid-block crossings be equipped with adequate lighting, signs and
markings, a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon or Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB),
and curb extensions or a pedestrian refuge island, as appropriate.</span></p><p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'><br /></p><p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'>This list can be used by the public, researchers, and roadway owners, such as Louisville Metro Government or the state, to prioritize safety improvements at existing midblock crossing locations and help standardize criteria for considering requests for new crossings or evaluate existing locations.</p><p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'><span style='text-indent:-0.25in;'><br /></span></p><p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'><span style='text-indent:-0.25in;'>Contact Information: Claire Yates, Louisville
