§ 16-44. Pedestrian traffic safety.

The Director of Transportation shall:

(1) identify intersections commonly used by the elderly, the disabled, or other persons who may need extra time to cross an intersection;

(2) conduct studies of those intersections, using pedestrian accident statistics, direct observation, or other sources of information, to determine the need for extra time for pedestrian crossing and the length of time needed; and

(3) wherever feasible, reset the timing of traffic signals or make other adjustments to the intersection to accommodate the need for extra time for pedestrian crossing.
