abstract="This article describes the Glendale, Californias pedestrian safety program, which combines high- and low-tech tools to increase the safety of walking. A few years ago, a study found that the city was suffering a disproportionate share of pedestrian injuries and fatalities compared to jurisdictions of similar size and makeup. Measures include enhanced visibility of crosswalk markings, disco lights cross walk installations that flash for a fixed amount of time after a pedestrian presses a button at the curb. Portable pole-mounted speed displays, LED traffic signals, traffic calming measures, and programs aimed specifically at schools are among the other measures. A public service campaign in English, Spanish and Armenian promoting pedestrian safety was another element. Computerizing traffic records and creating a computerized inventory of all traffic control devices and measures tied to location also helped planners track safety developments and link them to measures taken to improve safety.<p />",
