45 seconds probably wouldn't be that much longer than signalized crossing but according to the MUTCD peds get antsy and might take unsafe crossing chances if the wait is too long at a busy unsignalized crossing.

Sorry!
I pretty much did the steps that Terryscan mentioned. I got an average peak pm wait time of 45 seconds. Not too good for pedestrian patience I suppose.
Right, I am using a crossing time of 9 seconds. Do I need to calculate a weighted average from the gap data? Ideally I am shooting for wait time of less than 30 seconds for an adequate gap to cross, (per mutcd). I am trying to either justify yea or nay for a cross walk to be installed. It...
Peds do not have right of way at this point and the average speed of vehicles is 31 mph. The highest number of gaps for pm peak is 557 gaps per hour or 558 vph. 2-way peak hour traffic volume = 1218 vph. Divided into 3600 seconds/hr gives 3 seconds between vehicles but vehicles obviously are not...
Hello everyone,
new to the forum and traffic engineering in general. I was hoping for a point in the right direction with a traffic study problem.
I have automatic traffic counter data for for a 2-way road. I am seeing if a pedestrian crosswalk is warranted at the location.
My output data...
