Enhanced crossings allow for the installation of crosswalks and other intersection features at uncontrolled intersections (i.e. intersections with no signals or stop signs). These are generally pursued where there is a significant volume of pedestrians crossing the street, but the intersection does not meet the warrant thresholds for a control. DOT generally only marks crosswalks that meet U.S. federal guidelines for traffic controls determined by the MUTCD. Enhanced Crossings are a standard treatment that meet the community need for marked crossings when traffic controls are not appropriate.
