Conclusions• Elementary school-aged children tend to walk slower than
middle and high school-aged children
• Middle and high school-aged children generally walk at a rate of 4.0 feet per second or greater
• If traffic control devices are used, the guidance described in the MUTCD seems to be conservative
• Any enhancement must consider accommodations for wheelchair and mobility-challenged students

Future Work• Assessing other contributors to walking speeds (i.e.,
backpack usage, texting, smartphone usage, etc.)
• Examining the impact of other external factors (i.e., inclement vs. sunny weather)
• Linking traffic control devices with connected vehicles
