Join our consortium partners at the Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety (CPBS) and guest speakers on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 12pm PDT and learn how new tools are being developed to assess roadway suitability and safety for people walking and biking.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress
Wednesday, November 13, 2024 | 12pm - 1pm PDT
What are Pedestrian Level of Traffic Stress (PLTS) and Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (BLTS)? How can PLTS and BLTS be used to improve street safety and comfort and help communities move toward more connected Vulnerable Road User (VRU) networks? In this webinar, Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety (CPBS) researcher Bob Schneider introduced the new PLTS tool, which can be found here. Then CPBS researcher Nick Ferenchak detailed new BLTS intersection criteria. Watch the recording here.
