11.3.7.3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Considerations

As of 2024, pedestrian and bicycle LOS for interchanges is not included in the HCM 7th Edition. Pedestrian control delay can be evaluated at individual signalized intersections, and pedestrian crossing delay can be evaluated at unsignalized intersections. The quality of service of pedestrian and bicyclists along the arterial of an interchange can be approximated using HCM’s Urban Street
Facilities methodologies. CAP-X evaluates the level of pedestrian and bicycle accommodations at a few interchange types. Inputs include number of pedestrian crossings, number of lanes, and vehicle speeds at each crossing.
NCHRP 948: Guide for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety at Alternative and Other Intersections and Interchanges provides additional guidance on accommodating pedestrians and bicyclists at DDI. Refer to Chapter 14 for more information on multimodal accommodations and analysis.
