Walkability checklist

Crosswalks

Yes	No
		Curbs have ramps at crosswalks.
		I can clearly see traffic before I cross the street—nothing blocks my view.
		On wide roads, there is an island in the middle of the road to wait for the next light.
		I can use an under or over pass to cross streets.
		There is a crosswalk where I need one. I don’t have to walk all the way to a corner to get across the street.
		Drivers give pedestrians the right of way at crosswalks and at stop signs and stop lights.
		I can get across the street before the light changes.
		The traffic light changes soon after I push the crosswalk button.
		I can cross the street in time and within the crosswalk lines even if the there are many people crossing at the same time.
