sidewalk extension. The continuation, in full or in part, of the sidewalk across a street intersection either at its original elevation (raised sidewalk extension) or lowered to the level of the roadway (unraised sidewalk extension).

OBS

Wakefield already has a number of traffic calming devices such as the sidewalk extension at the intersection of Chesnut and Main in the Square... the sidewalk is extended a short distance into the roadway [providing] several benefits to pedestrians. First, it shortens the crossing distance, especially important to slower walkers such as the elderly and folks with children in tow. Next, it gives pedestrians a safe place to see around parked cars to view traffic. Finally, the extension sharpens the turning radius, causing vehicles to slow down when turning the corner.

OBS

Painted sidewalk extension.
