Safety Effects of Marked versus Unmarked Crosswalks at Uncontrolled
Locations: Final Report and Recommended Guidelines by the FHWA #FHWA–HRT–04–100 "The study results revealed that on two-lane roads, the presence of a marked crosswalk alone at an uncontrolled location
was associated with no difference in pedestrian crash rate, compared to an unmarked crosswalk. Further, on multilane
roads with traffic volumes above about 12,000 vehicles per day, having a marked crosswalk alone (without other
substantial improvements) was associated with a higher pedestrian crash rate (after controlling for other site factors)
compared to an unmarked crosswalk." It seems this mother was correct in assuming walking to a crosswalk would not improve their safety.
