A comprehensive pedestrian and driver safety program is being developed by the Operations and Facilities Management Department at Washington University School of Medicine. <\/p>\n
The program, initiated in the spring of 2017, will address pedestrian and vehicular safety needs on campus; provide education on the topic; and encourage more walking. <\/p>\n
In preparation for the program, the school completed a campus mobility plan in 2015, and a traffic and safety consultant completed a crosswalk study this summer that focused on Taylor, Duncan, McKinley and Scott avenues. As a result of the campus mobility plan, the pedestrian link was added to support pedestrian flow and remove pedestrian traffic from Taylor Avenue. <\/p>\n
The school next plans to hire a firm to design improvements for traffic areas that present special challenges. Some of these solutions might include adding speed bumps, raised crosswalks, new signage and new fencing. <\/p>\n
