Project summary
This research addresses the safety gap between current UK signal timings and actual pedestrian mobility needs. By measuring the gait speeds of disabled participants, the project provides new data to update national guidance for more inclusive crossings. By capturing objective gait speed data from 100 participants, the project provides the evidence base required to update national design guidance, ensuring signal timings reflect real-world needs and improve safety for all users.
