This “Guidance Sheet TTCZ Pedestrian Access” is a 4-page 8.5 x 11″ document that serves to remind temporary traffic control (TTC) designers and construction personnel of the importance of pedestrian access, to stress the need for pedestrian safety and to offer suggestions that will improve the visibility of pedestrian access. A basic requirement of work zone traffic control, as provided in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), is that the needs of pedestrians, including those with disabilities, must be addressed in the TTC process. Pedestrians should be provided with reasonably safe, convenient and accessible paths that replicate as nearly as practical the most desirable characteristics of the existing sidewalks or footpaths.

This product was developed under the Work Zone Safety Grant, awarded to ATSSA by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
