| Summary: | Gap acceptance of violating pedestrians was studied at seven stretches of signalised
pedestrian crossings in Singapore. The provision of the traffic light signals provide a ‘safer’
crossing option to these pedestrians, as compared to uncontrolled crossings and mid-block
arterial roads. However, there are still people choosing to cross at the riskier period (Red
Man phase). The paper discusses about the size of traffic gaps rejected and accepted by
pedestrians and the behaviour of riskier pedestrians (those adapting partial gap). The
likelihood of pedestrians accepting gaps between vehicular traffic as a combination of
different influencing independent variables such as traffic, environmental and personal
factors was studied and modelled using logistic regression. |
