The Virginia Department of Transportation is committed to improving safety and mobility for all road users in Virginia. Safe and comfortable street design for people walking and bicycling is one of the strategies VDOT is using to achieve these goals.

Bicycle and PedestrianSafety

Walking is often considered the safest route to get to and from parties, visiting friends, or dining at restaurants. Even if you choose not to drive after consuming alcohol or drugs, you still need to be careful as a pedestrian. The reasons you should not drive when impaired (for example, impaired judgement, decision making, reaction time, coordination) still exist if you are a pedestrian. When impaired, you are more likely to:

Green pavement markings can be used to mark where bicycle lanes traverse intersections (for illustrative purposes only).

Many intersections with traffic lights have crosswalks with pedestrian signals. When the ‘walk’ signal is lit, pedestrians may enter the crosswalk. When the ‘don’t walk’ signal is lit or flashing, pedestrians must not enter the crosswalk and must clear the crosswalk immediately if already in it.

Access to bicycle and pedestrian facilities is an important component of an efficient, multimodal transportation network. Providing safe and comfortable places to bike and walk enhances the quality of life and public health, strengthens communities, increases safety for all road users, reduces congestion, and benefits the environment.

Bicycleprogram

Applications of treatments currently under Interim Approvals (IA) issued by the FHWA on VDOT right-of-way must be coordinated with VDOT. The FHWA Bicycle and Pedestrian Program maintains a table listing various bicycle-related signs, markings, signals, and other treatments and identifies their status (e.g., can be implemented, currently experimental) in the 2009 version of the MUTCD. Localities wishing to install these treatments should consult VDOT's list of Interim Approvals which defines the applicability of  IAs already granted to VDOT. The MUTCD also maintains a list of approved requests for Interim Approval, which lists IAs by requestor; search for "Virginia" to see all the Virginia localities which have approvals.

During the planning, design, and construction phases of projects, VDOT works with local jurisdictions to incorporate these treatments into plans to facilitate the growth of a larger network of comfortable bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. While this page provides an important overview and can serve as an educational resource, local jurisdictions wishing to implement any of these treatments should consult the appropriate controlling documents, including, but not limited to, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), VDOT Road Design Manual,  VDOT Road and Bridge Standards and the Code of Virginia.

For example, if you are walking impaired an officer could charge you with infractions such as intoxication in a public place. Some municipalities also have bylaws restricting jaywalking, and you are more likely to cross in an unsafe location if you are impaired.

Pedestrians have the right of way in a crosswalk unless a peace officer or traffic control device directs otherwise. This means that even if the crosswalk is unmarked, vehicles must stop and yield to pedestrians. Drivers should make sure to watch for the elderly or people with disabilities who may take more time crossing. Failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk will result in a $810 fine and 4 demerit points. However, as a pedestrian you are still responsible for exercising due care even though you have the right of way and you should make sure that all vehicles have yielded before entering the crosswalk.

A pedestrian crossing a roadway outside a crosswalk must yield the right of way to vehicles. Some municipalities also have 'jaywalking' bylaws. If you cross the street outside a crosswalk in these municipalities, you could receive a fine.

There are a variety of design treatments that can improve safety and comfort for bicyclists and pedestrians. While some treatments, such as bicycle lanes, are becoming more commonplace, others may be more unfamiliar to Virginians.

Signalling your intent to cross can help drivers know that you intend to enter the crosswalk. You can use Point, Pause, Proceed as a rule of thumb:
