The pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) is one of several countermeasures
available to improve safety for pedestrians or bicyclists crossing busy
and/or wide streets at uncontrolled crossing locations. While agencies
have been using this countermeasure for over a decade, transportation
professionals still have questions about when and where they should
install PHBs. Webinar panelists will share new research that evaluated
safety and driver yielding at PHB locations on higher speed roads (among
other findings) and discuss how this research and other factors have
influenced their guidelines for installing PHBs.
Panelists include: Bill Stone (Arizona Department of Transportation),
Mike Cynecki (Lee Engineering), and Mailén Pankiewicz (City of Phoenix).
This webinar is supported by FHWA's Safe Transportation for Every
Pedestrian (STEP)

which promotes proven, cost-effective countermeasures to improve
pedestrian safety.
