SRTS Guide: Marking and Signing Crosswalks - Safe Routes Info
The 2009 MUTCD allows for two basic types of crosswalk designs, such as (1) traditional parallel lines; or (2) a high-visibility crosswalk pattern, such as a ladder, continental design, or diagonal marking.

3 High-visibility ladder, zebra, and continental crosswalk markings are preferable to standard parallel or dashed pavement markings. These are more visible to approaching vehicles and have been shown to improve yielding behavior. + More Info.
Crosswalk Marking Selection Guide - Department of Transportation
This guide presents information related to crosswalk markings—explaining their purpose and documented effects—and provides factors to consider when selecting marking designs. This guide recommends high visibility crosswalks (HVCs) at all uncontrolled crosswalk locations.

A study by Knoblauch, Testin, Smith, and Pietrucha (1988) found the ladder design, shown in Figure 4-42, to be the most visible type of crosswalk marking for drivers. Diagonal striping can also enhance the visibility of a pedestrian crossing (Figure 4-43).

High-visibility crosswalks use patterns (i.e., bar pairs, continental, ladder) that are visible to both the driver and pedestrian from farther away compared to traditional transverse line crosswalks. They should be considered at all midblock pedestrian crossings and uncontrolled intersections.
Wider lines, wider crosswalks, and ladder or diagonal (high visibility) markings are easier for drivers to see. Continental or ladder markings should be placed between wheel paths to extend
High-visibility crosswalks use patterns (i.e., bar pairs, continental, ladder) that are visible to both the driver and pedestrian from farther away compared to traditional transverse line crosswalks. They should be considered at all midblock pedestrian crossings and uncontrolled intersections.
• Use high-visibility (ladder-style) crosswalk markings to increase visibility longitudinally. • Provide advance stop or yield lines to reduce multiple threat collisions. • Provide advanced crosswalk warning signs for vehicle traffic.
Noticed More "Continental" Crosswalks? They're Now Standard …
2013年11月1日 · It's not your imagination -- crosswalks around San Francisco are being upgraded more rapidly to the "continental" striping style, also known as "ladder" or "zebra-striped" crosswalks, to make people more visible to drivers when they're crossing the street.
2020年6月16日 · This category includes a marked crosswalk (parallel lines, ladder, or zebra) with activated crossing warning signs (W11-2, W11-1, W11- 15, or S1-1) with LEDs or flashing lights.
