Is this word order right?
This is an excerpt from a news article:
"In a study funded by the Federal Highway Administration, the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research center is analyzing crash data [from before and after] leading pedestrian intervals were installed at 100 sample intersection in New York, Chicago, and Charlotte, N.C., from 2001 to 2014."
The word order of "from before and after" is right?
Could you tell me, please?

"from before and after" can be OK in itself, but "from before and after leading pedestrian intervals were installed" seems iffy to me. ) I don't recommend using brackets to highlight words in a piece of text. It is offputting.

"from before and after" can be OK in itself, but "from before and after leading pedestrian intervals were installed" seems iffy to me. (This is not because of "leading pedstrian intervals", which looks unusual at first, but is a noun phrase with a technical meaning in traffic management.)
