Marked Crosswalks
Introduction
Crosswalks can be marked or unmarked. Whether marked or unmarked, legal crosswalks exist at all legs of all intersections where sidewalks exist except where closed and appropriately signed. Marked crosswalks provide extra visibility and clarify where pedestrians will be crossing.
Design Considerations
|
Markings |
Minneapolis uses high visibility “continental” crosswalk markings whenever marking a crosswalk. The stripes in the marked crosswalk should be between 1’-2’ wide and spaced 1’-3’ apart and should cover the full crosswalk area. |
|
Stop bars |
An advanced stop bar should generally be included with marked crosswalks. See advanced stop bars guidance for more details. |
|
Location |
Marked crosswalks are generally included at all legal crossings at signalized intersections and at other priority crossings. City procedures on where to mark high visibility crosswalks are being updated. |
