Pedestrian-related crashes are a common cause of roadway fatalities, and reduced visibility at night is a probable contributor to pedestrian injuries and death. The purpose of the present study was to systematically evaluate different approaches to lighting at pedestrian crosswalks to improve pedestrian visibility and detection.

New Jersey Department of Transportation is required to do “on-site” treatment of stormwater runoff to comply with applicable local and federal laws. This report investigates the concept of water quality banking that can allow greater flexibility in dealing with water quality mitigation issues while complying with applicable local and federal laws.

<p>Current practice in New Jersey for mitigating stormwater impacts caused by transportation infrastructure projects is established by NJDEP Stormwater Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:8). These rules outline specific processes to offset impacts to water quality, groundwater recharge and peak rate of runoff/runoff volume resulting from the addition of impervious surfaces. The rules are written to address impacts of individual projects without specific provisions for addressing cumulative programmatic impacts of multiple projects through &#39;mitigation banking&#39;.
