Safe Crossing Project — Potentially unsafe pedestrian crossings in Luxembourg-City
Description
**Project description — At a glance**
Safe Crossing is a project based on a crowd-sourced effort to assess if the setup of pedestrian crossings in Luxembourg-City complies with the Code de la Route.
Specifically, the project aimed at finding out whether Articles 164(2.)(e) & 166(h) of the Highway Code were respected. This means, generally speaking, that no designated parking spot is allowed to be placed within 5 meters of a pedestrian crossing. In practice, many pedestrian crossings are setup in a way that violates this rule.
Results:
— A total of 1787 pedestrian crossings were analysed.
— The setup of 475 (27 %) crossings is likely in violation of the Highway Code
— For 162 (9 %) crossings, no assessment was possible
The remaining 1150 (64 %) pedestrian crossings have been assessed as being in compliance with the Highway Code.
**This means that almsost a third of all pedestrian crossings in the City of Luxembourg may not be setup according to the rules of the law.**
