Executive Summary
Between June 1, 2014 and August 25, 2014 the Master of Science in Urban and Regional
Planning program and the Center for Public and Nonprofit Management at the University of
Central Florida, in partnership with Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) conducted an audit
of the pedestrian infrastructure within a 2 mile radius around four elementary schools in Orange
County, Florida.
Within the Waterford Elementary study area there were 51 issues identified as affecting
pedestrian facilities. The majority of these issues relate to the presence of faded, missing or
damaged paint on crosswalks. Within the Lake Silver study area 79 issues affecting pedestrian
facilities were identified. The majority of these issues dealt with the presence of temporary or
permanent obstructions blocking pedestrian paths. Slightly fewer issues – 75 - were found within
the Spring Lake study area. The majority of these issues relate to the adequacy and maintenance
of the walking surface. Within the Shingle Creek study area there were 31 issues identified.
These issues are primarily related to the presence of faded, missing or damaged paint on
crosswalks.
No issues were found that exceed the minimum requirements to be deemed hazardous, as
prescribed by FS § 1006.23 (4) (a) (1) which states “It shall be considered a hazardous walking
condition with respect to any road along which students must walk in order to walk to and from
school if there is not an area at least 4 feet wide adjacent to the road, having a surface upon
which students may walk without being required to walk on the road surface. In addition,
whenever the road along which students must walk is uncurbed and has a posted speed limit of
55 miles per hour, the area as described above for students to walk upon shall be set off the road
by no less than 3 feet from the edge of the road.”

Introduction
Walking is an important and healthy means of transportation. Yet, the interactions between
pedestrians and automobiles, and inadequate or poorly maintained infrastructure, often put
pedestrians at risk. Issues which contribute to an unsafe walking environment include:
unprotected street crossings, lengthy crossings, crossings that are spaced too far apart,
interchanges, partial or nonexistent walking paths, poor quality walking surfaces, nonexistent or
inappropriate crossing treatments, lack of separation from vehicular traffic, high speed traffic,
the perception that walking is a risk to personal safety, and more
1. Appropriate walking areas are
essential to improving pedestrian safety
2. In 2012, 4,743 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes
in 2012, an increase of six percent from the previous year. Approximately 76,000 pedestrians
were also injured in traffic crashes. Six percent of those pedestrian fatalities and eighteen percent
of injuries were children ages fifteen and younger
3.
In Orange County, Florida, traffic crashes
resulted in 460 pedestrian injuries and 37 pedestrian fatalities in 2012
4.
The existing neighborhood conditions that surround schools pose a unique set of challenges
to school age children. Young children have lower mobility levels, reduced visibility due to their
lower height, and reduced motor skills that limit their ability to walk at certain speeds, turn their
heads in certain ways, and see all signs, signals, and markings
1.
In order to improve the safety of the pedestrian environment for elementary school age
children, the MSURP program and the Center for Public and Nonprofit Management at the
University Of Central Florida, in partnership with Orange County Public Schools, conducted an
evaluation of the existing built environment within a two-mile radius of four elementary schools
in Orange County, FL (Waterford Elementary, Lake Silver Elementary, Shingle Creek
Elementary, and Spring Lake Elementary). A report was generated for each school which
identifies locations where there are pedestrian safety concerns and provides recommendations for
improvement.

Overview of Road Safety Audits
In order to ensure the safe operation of roadways and pedestrian infrastructure, and improve
safety for all road users, local, state, and federal transportation agencies have engaged in Road
Safety Audits (RSA). The Federal Highway Administration defines a Road Safety Audit (RSA)
as a process to identify safety issues and make suggestions on measures and facilities to improve
pedestrian safety. RSAs are typically conducted to address the safe operation of roadways and
crossings to ensure a high level of safety for all road users. The main objective of the four RSAs
in this report is to identify pedestrian safety issues and make recommended improvements to
existing pedestrian infrastructure. While some RSAs are conducted prior to the start of
consruction, the RSA conducted for the purposes of this report are
post-construction
assessments
of existing pedestrian infrastructure within a two mile walk radius around four elementary
schools. A post construction RSA is a formal safety examination of an existing roadway and
pedestrian network conducted in order to identify the roadside features, design elements, and
local conditions, and how these elements intersect with each other and with all road users
1.
Methodology
Guiding Document
The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Pedestrian
Road Safety Audit Field Manual and Master Prompt List was used as the overarching guide for
conducting each RSA. The master prompt list consists of two basic elements: the universal
considerations and the matrix of pedestrian prompts. The universal considerations include: the
needs of pedestrians, connectivity and convenience of pedestrian facilities, traffic, behavior,
construction, and school presence. The RSA matrix of pedestrian prompts consists of 3 major
topic areas (pedestrian facilities, traffic, and traffic control devises), 9 subtopic categories
(presence, design and placement; quality, condition, and obstructions; continuity and
connectivity; lighting; visibility; access management; traffic, signs and pavement markings; and
signals) and 4 RSA zones (streets, street crossings, parking areas/adjacent developments; transit
areas). The RSA team reviewed the existing pedestrian infrastructure based on the prompts in all
9 subtopic categories. Descriptions of the detailed prompts used in this report are located in
Appendix 1.

Table 2: FHWA RSA Subtopic Descriptions
Subtopic Description
Presence, Design, and Placement
Looks at the presence, design, and placement of pedestrian infrastructure including sidewalks, shoulders, ramps, and buffers throughout the study area. Quality, Conditions,
and Obstructions
Assesses the presence of surface obstructions, hazards, and maintenance issues along pedestrian pathways throughout the study area.
Continuity and Connectivity
Concerns barriers and discontinuities that disrupt the pedestrian infrastructure throughout the study area.
Lighting Concerns the presence of street lighting throughout the study area.
Visibility Regards the visibility of pedestrians walking along pathways throughout the study area.
Access Management Concerns the presence, number, or spacing of driveways throughout the study area affects pedestrian movement.
Traffic Assays conflicts between pedestrians and other modes of transportation throughout the study area.
Signs and Pavement Markings
Assesses the conditions of marked crosswalks and pedestrian signage which warns drivers that pedestrians may be crossing the street.
Signals Identifies the presence and effectiveness of pedestrian signal heads which assist pedestrians in crossing intersections safely.
10
Definitions
This report assessed each safety and walkability issues associated with the existing
pedestrian infrastructure along street segments and street crossings within each study area. The
street segment assessment identified issues on sidewalks, trails, or other paths that may be used
by pedestrians. The street crossings assessment identified issues on the pedestrian infrastructure
where one roadway crosses another
1. Pedestrian infrastructure includes: sidewalks, curb ramps,
marked crosswalks, roadway lighting improvements, buffers, and curb ramps (Comprehensive
Study to Reduce Pedestrian Crashes in Florida). Parking areas and Transit areas were excluded
from this RSA because the main focus of this study is to assess the pedestrian facilities that are
utilized by children walking to school within the two mile walk zone study area.
Identified issues within each study area were categorized into one of the nine subtopic
categories and then associated with one of the detailed prompts. Issues within the nine subtopic
categories were assessed as to whether they represented a
primary
or
secondary
problem. For
the purposes of this study, primary issues are defined as those which present a serious threat to
pedestrians and require immediate action to remove the issue. If two minor issues are present at
one given location this is then categorized as a primary issue due to the compound threat they
represent. Secondary issues are defined as those which represent a more minor threat to
pedestrians and pedestrian travel. Secondary issues have the potential to develop into or combine
with other secondary issues to create a primary issue.
11
Roadway Functional Classifications
This report also provides information about the functional classifications of roadways within
each study area. Roadway functional classification is “is the process by which streets and
highways are grouped into classes, or systems, according to the character of traffic service that
they are intended to provide”.
5
Principal Urban Arterial roadways serve as major activity centers, are the corridors with
the highest traffic volume and the longest trip demands. They serve demand for intra-area
travel between the central business district and outlying residential areas.
Minor Urban Arterial roadways interconnect the higher-level Arterials and serve trips of
moderate length, serve geographic areas that are smaller than their higher Arterial
counterparts and offer connectivity to the higher Arterial system.
Major Urban Collector roadways serve both land access and traffic circulation in higher
density residential, and commercial/industrial areas. These roadways run through
residential neighborhoods, often for significant distances, and distribute and channel trips
between.
Minor Urban Collector roadways serve both land access and traffic circulation in lower
density residential and commercial/industrial areas. These roadways also run through
residential neighborhoods, but often only for a short distance, and distribute and channel
trips between Local Roads and Arterials, usually over a distance of less than
three-quarters of a mile
Local Urban Roads provide direct access to adjacent land and higher systems. These
roadways carry no through traffic movement. They are not intended for use in long
distance travel, except at the origin or destination end of the trip, due to their provision of
direct access to abutting land.

Data Used
GIS maps provided by Orange County Public Schools were used to identify each study
area. Each study area is represented as a 2 mile walk radius around each elementary school.
Additional GIS data representing roadways, roadway functional classifications, intersections, and
local jurisdictions were gathered from the Orange County data download (FTP) website
6.
The field data for this report was gathered by the RSA team who walked each roadway
segment and crossing within each study area. Existing roads and pedestrian networks within the
two-mile radius that are considered priority areas for evaluation were based on the residence of
school age population and areas known to have safety issues based on incidences reported to
Orange County Public Schools. Data was gathered between the times of 7 A.M and 11 A.M on
weekdays in order to represent conditions at peak travel times for both children walking to
school and automobiles.
