Abstract

This research paper broadly supports the rules set out in earlier guidance published in 2000 relating to crossing a carriageway on foot, but recognises that in some traffic flows on motorways, crossing may be impossible in practice for much of the day. At some rates of traffic, site specific assessment should be carried out to determine if there are sufficient safe gaps for crossing.
