Pedestrian Crossings and Safety on Four Anishinaabe Reservations in Minnesota

July 2016 - November 2020 | by Greg Lindsey, John Hourdos, Peter Dirks, Melissa Duhn, Yunlei Qi, Lila Singer-Berk, Michael Petesch

Purpose:

This report summarizes a study of pedestrian crossing behaviors at high-risk intersections on four Anishinaabe reservations in northern Minnesota, where pedestrian-vehicle interactions ranged from 9% to 54%. In collaboration with Tribal and transportation agencies, site-specific safety countermeasures were proposed, with some already being implemented and plans to expand the effort to other reservations.

Map of MN with Anishinaabe Reservations and Dakota Communities labeled separately.
