Midblock Pedestrian Crossing

INT-MPC-08
Intersections & Crossings

Midblock Pedestrian Crossing

A marked, and typically signalized or raised, pedestrian crossing placed mid-block rather than at a corner, serving a specific crossing demand between intersections.

Typical at: Compact Urban Core

Suburban is an edge case. Undeveloped and Rural are unlikely pairings.

#Design notes

Midblock crossings supplement, rather than replace, intersection-level crossing treatment. They concentrate at higher density, where longer blocks and denser pedestrian destinations make a corner-only crossing pattern insufficient on its own.
