The influence of the construction of raised pedestrian crossing on traffic conditions on urban segments
Abstract
One of solutions that is often used in recent times in street networks is vertical shift in pavement level at mid-block pedestrian crossings. This measure is aimed at reducing vehicle speed and increasing the motorist yield rate. Research results about the influence of raised mid-block pedestrian crossings on pedestrian and driver behaviour are presented through analysis of traffic flow parameters. The research was conducted at a mid-block signalised pedestrian crossing prior to and after rehabilitation of that crossing.
