The use of distinctive paving materials and colors, grade separations, pavement marking, signs, striping, bollards, median refuge areas, traffic calming features, landscaping, lighting, or other means to clearly delineate pedestrian areas for day and night use and ADA purposes shall be used to minimize potential hazards in areas where pedestrian and vehicular traffic meet.
