Pedestrian Safety: Drivers’ Stopping Behavior at Crosswalks

The safety of a pedestrian crossing may depend on infrastructure, vehicular and traffic characteristics. This academic research typically portrays the challenges knowingly caused by vehicles crosswalks in city Kigali. Through carefully observing stopping local drivers events, study aims to objectively evaluate drivers’ questionable behavior against flow parameters. Ten collection sites were ultimately selected purposefully randomly suit observations for data recording. A grand total 10,259 events properly recorded within 280 h. Statistical analyses, practical tests binary logistic regression models promptly used adequately specific behaviors. Woefully, 82.4% violate crosswalks, endangering pedestrians. Motorcyclists exhibit most aggressive behavior. Car are relatively less aggressive, whereby 60% managed brake events. Local buses authorized bicycles enthusiastically shared negligible collective percentage 2%, being not stopping. In general, cars 10.389 times more likely voluntarily justly stop compared bicycles. Maintaining row is safer cross, as each unit increase vehicle density scale, there 1.956 chances that every driver would stop. brief, 13% 21% variables positively predict considerable variance model.
