Abstract

In this study, we conducted observation surveys at two unsignalized two-stage crosswalks and analyzed both the characteristics of pedestrians’ and cyclists’ crossing movements near/at two-stage crosswalks and the relationship between their jaywalking behaviors and the surrounding situations. Firstly, we indicated that jaywalking tends to occur in cases where it is possible to short-circuit by using their traffic line to the station or continuous intersection. Second, we found that company employees are more likely to cross illegally by examining the attributes of crossers. We also identified both differences in the conditions under which the elderly people and housewives were more likely to cross uncontrolled, and in the occurrence of jaywalking by pedestrians and cyclists. Furthermore, we clarified that jaywalking behaviors are subject to occur when the moving distance can be significantly reduced by jaywalking, and that it is also affected by the presence of surrounding pedestrians and cyclists by statistical analysis.
