The document discusses current regulations in Indiana regarding trail and pedestrian crossings of roadways. It summarizes the Indiana Code provisions giving pedestrians the right-of-way in crosswalks and requiring drivers to yield. It also reviews examples of municipal ordinances from Indianapolis defining crosswalks and duties of pedestrians and drivers. Current design standards from Indiana's MUTCD, INDOT Design Manual and AASHTO guides are presented, covering topics like crosswalk markings, signs for paths and bicycle facilities, and intersection treatments. There is discussion of potential revisions needed to codes, manuals or guidelines, as well as public education programs, to improve non-motorized safety at crossings.
