Why didn’t the senior citizen cross the road? Gait speed in community-dwelling older adults with mobility limitations relative to pedestrian crossing times

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Pedestrian crossings assuming a gait speed of 1.2 m/s are inadequate for mobility-limited older adults to cross at a comfortable walking speed. Further studies are needed to assess the impact of slow gait speed on outdoor physical activity and to develop policies for more accommodating pedestrian infrastructure.
