FIGURE 1 A wide variety of transportation facilities must effectively serve a wide variety of users .
FIGURE 2 Recommended pedestrian body ellipse for standing areas.
FIGURE 3 This elderly pedestrian, and others like her, may be helped by the proposed revisions to crosswalk walking speeds
FIGURE 4 The proposed revisions to crosswalk walking speeds may also benefit people who are not elderly, such as this pedestrian pushing a stroller
FIGURE 5 Illustration of proposed walkway Level of Service thresholds
FIGURE 6 Pedestrians who know each other often travel in platoons
FIGURE 7 Noncompliant pedestrian behavior is common at this Chicago, Illinois, intersection due to low conflicting vehicle volumes
