Compare routes with safety constraints
See this course’s project requirements
A pedestrian-safety route review identifying crossings, visibility, turning vehicles, transit access and a safer alternative from supplied scene cards.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Moving-hazard and sight map.
- Crossing-location and signal analysis.
- Turning/backing/hidden-lane review.
- Transit waiting/boarding/exit routine.
- Final route comparison and changed-condition plan.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Scene map distinguishes moving, turning, backing and hidden-lane hazards.
- Crossing decision checks location, visibility, signal phase and traffic independently.
- Transit routine includes designated waiting, boarding and exit without chasing vehicles.
- Route comparison excludes supplied unsafe shortcuts and updates changed detour times accurately.

The idea in everyday life
Route A: 8 minutes, blocked mid-block crossing. Route B: 12 minutes, continuous sidewalk, clear controlled crossing and designated transit stop. Route C: 10 minutes, vehicle-only shortcut. These are supplied scenes, not verified local routes.
An unresolved essential hazard is not canceled by saving a few minutes.
Compare routes with safety constraints — supplied practice
An unresolved essential hazard is not canceled by saving a few minutes.
Route A: 8 minutes, blocked mid-block crossing. Route B: 12 minutes, continuous sidewalk, clear controlled crossing and designated transit stop. Route C: 10 minutes, vehicle-only shortcut. These are supplied scenes, not verified local routes.
1. Step 1
Mark A’s crossing and C’s vehicle-only section as unresolved/excluded.
You should see: Each conflicts with the supplied pedestrian safety conditions.
2. Step 2
Select B as the better supplied route and calculate its extra time versus A.
You should see: 12−8 = 4 extra minutes.
3. Step 3
Add signal/movement/access checks before actual use.
You should see: The favorable card still does not guarantee live conditions.
4. Step 4
Attach a pause/alternative step for closures or changed conditions.
You should see: If a necessary control fails, reassess rather than rush through the hazard.
What to finish
A final pedestrian/transit route review with time and live-condition limits.
Watch for this
Desk-based scene literacy only. No road crossing or transit trip is required; actual local conditions, rules and appropriate access arrangements must be checked before travel.
How can I tell I understand it?
Support each lesson-specific criterion with your supplied-case artifact: I applied safety constraints before time.; I checked the four-minute difference.; I retained changed-condition and access checks.
