Analysis of Pedestrian Crossing Accident Rates in Urban Environments

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the safety of pedestrian crossings in the urban environment in terms of the accident rate at crossings with one or multiple same-direction lanes without a traffic signal. The study uses accident data such as the number and severity of injuries and the age of participants to identify risk factors and evaluate the impact of crossing design on safety. The findings provide recommendations for improvements and are intended to be used for the revision of the ČSN 73 6110 standard in order to improve the safety of the pedestrians.
