Request a new marked crosswalk or pedestrian light

The City of Calgary determines which type of crosswalk treatment is appropriate for a specific location based on the Transportation Association of Canada’s (TAC) Pedestrian Crossing Control Guide (3rd Edition). Learn about the different crosswalk treatments used in Calgary.

To determine the appropriate treatment for a specific location, pedestrian crossing evaluations consider many factors, including:

• pedestrian crossing volumes,
• pedestrian demographics,
• proximity to the nearest traffic control device (traffic light, overhead flasher, RRFB, etc.) to ensure adequate spacing between devices, and
• crossing distance, speed limit, and traffic volumes.

This ensures the equitable distribution of budget resources and that devices are placed where they are needed. Locations are prioritized for installation each construction year, based on available budgets.
