Enhanced Pedestrian Crosswalks
Enhanced Pedestrian crosswalks use solar-powered flashing lights when in use, making them more visible and safer for pedestrians. The Town’s 2023 capital and operating budgets includes funding to install three crosswalk enhancements per year (other locations may be included within capital projects). Please note: locations are subject to change based on budgets and emerging priorities.
To suggest a location for further consideration, please contact roads or call Operational Facilities at 403-851-2590.
What’s included in evaluations?
To qualify for installation, a location must meet the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Pedestrian Control Guide and local crossing considerations. Evaluations check for proximity to schools/playgrounds and seniors’ facilities, pathway connections and any history of collisions.
The Town of Cochrane currently has 29 enhanced pedestrian crosswalks.
