While the frequency of collisions on our road network has been trending downward, the number of pedestrian collisions has been on the rise in most urban areas across the province and throughout North America. Vulnerable road user safety must be placed at the forefront through continuous improvements to the planning, design, operations, and maintenance of our infrastructure.

The OTC is offering a comprehensive practitioner level workshop dedicated to pedestrian safety that is unique in North America. The day will begin with an overview of the state-of-the practice in road user safety, common pedestrian safety issues, and potential contributory factors. The remainder of the course systematically walks the participants through modules on proactive safety, intersections/controlled crossings, pedestrian accessibility, lighting and visibility, and other pedestrian facilities. Each module includes cases studies from actual in-service safety reviews, safety audits and/or legal cases in Ontario, and direct linkages to the Highway Safety Manual and other primary industry resources. Participants will also be involved with a virtual field investigation for a “hands on” pedestrian safety review.

Learning Objectives
After successfully completing the workshop participants should be able to:

Understand the state-of-the-practice in road safety engineering as it relates to pedestrian facilities and operations.
Develop a basic network screening process to determine higher risk locations and dominant collision types experienced.
Identify common pedestrian operational and maintenance safety concerns, and potential hazards on our facilities and networks, and select proven and low-cost countermeasures and remedial actions.
Gain knowledge on how to plan pedestrian facilities to provide accessibility for persons with disabilities.
Review and develop policies and practices to improve pedestrian safety.
Identify potential operational/safety issues and potential hazards of a proposed plan or design through a safety audit or preliminary risk assessment exercise.
Locate readily available key resources related to safety, planning, operations, and maintenance.

Who Should Attend
This course would be of benefit for the following staff involved in transportation planning, design, and operations, as well as maintenance of roads, sidewalks, trails, and paths:

Transportation planners;
Transportation engineers/technologists;
AT managers and their staff;
Public works and road maintenance personnel; and
Others involved in the management, operations, and maintenance of roadways, sidewalks, and other pedestrian facilities.
