1. Effective policy analysis requires collection, interpretation, and use of data. Secondary data is information from existing data sources such as statistics about the number of accidents and the results of a survey. For a pedestrian accident issue statistics about motor vehicles and bicycles would not be appropriate. The number of schools located on busy highways would help contribute to the argument for pedestrian signs; however, children are not the only pedestrians. The number of tickets issued to jaywalkers does not support the need for pedestrian crosswalk signs other than to potentially reduce the number of jaywalking tickets issued.
