About the Webcast:
The webinar will present part of the work conducted for the evaluation of the pedestrian safety focused initiative launched by FDOT in 2011. The evaluation includes the method and data collected during the observational and public opinion surveys for pedestrians, and analysis on the difference between what is observed and what people state when asked specific traffic law questions related to pedestrian crossings.
