Crosswalk Closure Approval Request

Use this form to request approval for a crosswalk closure. One form per highway. See the Traffic Manual for information on crosswalk closure criteria.

Consultants: Send this form as a word document to the Region Traffic Unit through the ODOT liaison for your contract.

Region Traffic: Send this form as a PDF signed by the region traffic engineer to the Traffic Engineering Section. The state traffic engineer will only consider requests signed by the region traffic engineer.

What geometric design or operational condition(s) significantly degrade pedestrian safety and cannot be reasonably mitigated?
What other solutions have been explored to mitigate the condition(s), why are these solutions not feasible, and why is closing the crosswalk the preferred alternative?
Locate the nearest enhanced crosswalk in each direction along the highway. How does closing the crosswalk affect ODOT’s ability to meet its spacing targets for enhanced crosswalks discussed in Section 310.1 of the Traffic Manual?
Use the following paragraph if enhancing crosswalks is outside the scope of the project. Delete if not applicable. Enhancing crosswalks is outside the scope of this project. In a future project, ODOT can evaluate the need & feasibility of enhancing crosswalks on this segment of highway to progress toward its spacing targets for enhanced crosswalks.
How does closing the crosswalk affect the local bicycle and pedestrian plan if a plan exists?
Show the proposed closed crosswalk and alternative pedestrian route in a plan-view picture or diagram. Include the location and distance to the nearest remaining crosswalk (marked or unmarked) in each direction along the highway. Note obstacles along the alternate route (e.g., a utility pole in the middle of the sidewalk).
What devices are proposed to close the crosswalk? Include the approximate location, such as corner and ramp number, where a CROSSWALK CLOSED (OR22-7) sign(s) and detectable treatment(s) are planned. Select from available options in the table below, write a custom entry in the table below, or delete the table and provide a plan-view picture or diagram that shows where all closure treatments are proposed.
