Jefferson County KY - Midblock Crossings

Published by Louisville/Jefferson County Information Consortium | Louisville Metro Government | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-28T00:00:00.000Z
Mid-block crossings offer pedestrians and bicyclists approved locations to legally cross a street other than a fully controlled intersection, such as an all-way stop or traffic signal. Mid-block crossings are typically installed in areas with high pedestrian activity and along pedestrian or bicyclist desire lines. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration encourages mid-block crossings be equipped with adequate lighting, signs and markings, a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon or Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB), and curb extensions or a pedestrian refuge island, as appropriate.This list can be used by the public, researchers, and roadway owners, such as Louisville Metro Government or the state, to prioritize safety improvements at existing midblock crossing locations and help standardize criteria for considering requests for new crossings or evaluate existing locations.Contact Information: Claire Yates, Louisville Metro Public Works and Assets, Transportation Planner II, claire.yates@louisvilleky.gov, (502) 574-3197.
