“…Accommodating a 10.5 degree initial misalignment would require a crosswalk that is at least 18.5 feet (5.6 m) wide. Because many crosswalks are longer than 50 feet and because veering from one’s initial heading can reasonably be assumed (Rouse & Worchel, 1955; Cratty, 1967; Guth & LaDuke, 1994), even 4 degrees of misalignment could be a serious problem in the absence of information with which to adjust one’s heading, such as the sound of parallel traffic (Guth et al, 1989). In contrast, substantially greater misalignment may be tolerable at shorter crosswalks, such as the typical 12 foot (3.7 m) crosswalk at a single lane roundabout.…”
