EspañolREFUGE ISLAND
(Redirected from Pedestrian refuge)
A 'refuge island', also known as a 'pedestrian refuge' or 'pedestrian island', is a small section of pavement or sidewalk, completely surrounded by asphalt or other road materials, where pedestrians can stop before finishing crossing a road. It is typically used when a street is very wide, as the pedestrian crossing can be too long for some individuals to cross in one traffic light cycle. It is also used when no light exists, and pedestrians need safe harbour after managing one direction of traffic, before taking on the next.
