摘要：
The pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) is a high-intensity pedestrian signal that can be placed at a midblock or intersection crosswalk. This system was introduced into the MUTCD in 2009, and since has increased in popularity across the country, including in New Jersey. Recent research has raised concerns about motorist and pedestrian comprehension of the PHB due to its recent introduction in New Jersey. In this study, video data was collected at a PHB site in the city of New Brunswick, New Jersey, in order to evaluate road users' behaviors at the PHB. An online survey was also conducted among Rowan University community including students and faculty members in order to gauge public awareness and comprehension of PHB signals in New Jersey. Together, the video data and survey results are reflective of the current level of public understanding and the effectiveness of PHBs in New Jersey.
