This study compared the level of service (LOS) for the intersections before and after the installation of the scrambled crosswalk. The intersections were classified by the number of legs for three and four legged intersections and the LOS were evaluated for various levels of the critical lane volumes. The scrambled crosswalk may also remove the conflicts between the pedestrians and the right-turning vehicles. According to the results, the scrambled crosswalk may be effective on the intersections with two lane roadway and the high right-turning vehicle volume. It is also desirable for the intersections with high pedestrian volumes because pedestrians may cause the conflicts with the right-turning vehicles. Finally, the guideline for the installation of scrambled crosswalk was developed which can consider both of traffic operation and the pedestrian safety.
