The development of effective roadway design and operation, education, and enforcement measures to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists and prevent crashes with motor vehicles is enhanced by the collection of the location of the non-motorist at the time of crash.
This element provides a complete picture of the non-motorist's role in the crash when examined with Non-motorist Actions P22 (Prior) & P23 (at Time of Crash).
Intersection - An area which 1) contains a crossing or connection of two or more roadways not classified as driveway access 2) is embraced within the prolongation of the lateral curb lines, or, if none, the lateral boundary lines of the roadways...
Marked Crosswalk - That portion of the roadway that is distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface of the roadway.

Midblock - Marked Crosswalk - A portion of the roadway, not at an intersection, that is distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface of the roadway.
Bicycle Lane - Any road, path, or way which is specifically designated as being open to bicycle travel regardless of whether such facilities are designated for the exclusive use of bicycles (Dedicated Bike Lane).
Shoulder - that part of a trafficway contiguous with the roadway for emergency use, or accommodation of stopped motor vehicles, and lateral support of the roadway structure.
Roadside - From the property line of the outermost part of the trafficway to the edge of the first road.
Median - An area of trafficway between parallel roads separating travel in opposite directions. A median should be four or more feet wide.
Island - Cement or grassy area in the middle of a trafficway.
Clarification (from FHWA: Flexibility in Highway Design - Chapter 8): There are two basic types of islands: Corner islands that separate right turning vehicles and median or divisional islands that separate opposing traffic flows on an intersection approach. In general, islands provide a safe refuge for pedestrians.
Driveway Access (from D16, 7th Edition) - A driveway access is a portion of the trafficway at the end of a driveway providing access to property adjacent to a trafficway.
Driveway - A driveway is a private way which provides vehicular access to the public from a trafficway to property, parking, or loading areas outside the boundaries of the trafficway, but is considered to be not open to the public for transportation purposes as a trafficway. A driveway is outside the trafficway and is typically not provided an official identification name or number.
Shared-Use Path or Trial - A bikeway physically separated from motorized vehicular traffic by an open space or barrier and either within the highway right-of-way or an independent right-of-way. Shared use paths will also be used by pedestrians, skaters, wheelchairs, joggers and other non-motorized users.
Non-Trafficway Area - Not physically located on any land way open to the public as a matter of right or custom for moving persons or property from one place to another.
