| Wide
streets in downtown Crown Point, Indiana, can be difficult for pedestrians
to cross. One way to help would be to put in bulb-outs, or curb extensions.
Having the curb at the crosswalk extend out to the edge of the parking
spaces dramatically shortens the crossing distance for pedestrians.
It also puts waiting pedestrians where drivers can see them better.
In places where you have diagonal parking, such as around the old
courthouse square, the difference is especially great. |
