The Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) Traffic Operations Division has issued an instructional and informational memorandum (Memorandum) intended to provide a set of standards and guidelines for where, when, and how Signalized Intersection Pedestrian Features are to be installed during certain improvement activities. The Memorandum establishes requirements, recommendations, and options for the provision of Signalized Intersection Pedestrian Features based on a default assumption that the features will be provided across all approaches of the intersection when certain improvement activities occur unless an exception is met.

The full memorandum, including worksheet & evaluation form can be found on VDOT’s website: IIM-TOD-400 Pedestrian Accommodations at Traffic Signals.

For additional information, please contact VDOT’s Northern Virginia District office at 703-259-2382.
