A STUDY OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY BEHAVIOR USING ACTIVITY SAMPLING
暂无分享,去创建一个
THE BEHAVIOR OF PEDESTRIANS AT A STREET CROSSING WAS STUDIED, USING ACTIVITY SAMPLING, BEFORE AND AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF UNSAFE ACTS OBSERVED, RELATIVE TO THE NUMBER OF PEDESTRIANS, BEFORE AND AFTER THE INSTALLATION. IT THUS MAY BE CONCLUDED THAT PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC SIGNALS ARE NOT AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR REDUCING PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT A PORTION OF THE FUNDS ALLOCATED FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC LIGHT INSTALLATIONS BE USED FOR RESEARCH ON SAFETY CAMPAIGNS, PEDESTRIAN AGE, LAW ENFORCEMENT, ETC. /HSL/
