Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of countdown signals at an intersection on pedestrian behavior. A "before" and "after" study design was used. Survey data for this experiment was collected over multiple days in two collection periods. More than 330 random pedestrians were observed for each collection period. "Before" data was collected at the subject intersection with traditional, non-countdown timer pedestrian signals in place. The signals were replaced with countdown pedestrian signals and "after" data were collected. Pedestrian behavior, demographic data and experiment metadata was collected for each observation collection period.
