Negative Behavioral Factors
INADEQUATE PED SEARCH (peds enter roadway without searching)
INADEQUATE DRIVER SEARCH (drivers proceed without searching)
ABORTED CROSSING (return to curb after both feet in roadway)
CROSSING AGAINST LIGHT (entry and exit from roadway against signal)
SMALL GAPS (accepting gaps which require rapid crossing)
LEAVING CROSSWALK (crossing starts or ends outside of an available crosswalk)
CROSSING IN FRONT OF A BUS
VEHICLE OVERTAKING (ped crosses in front of stopped traffic - Multiple Threat)
RUNNING (entry or crossing while running or obviously moving faster than normal)
SHORT TIME EXPOSURE (e.g., appearance behind parked cars)
RETREAT
(momentary reversal in pedestrian direction of travel)
High Risk Factors
| Travel Conditions | |
|---|---|
| HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS | HIGH PED VOLUME |
| HIGH VEHICLE VOLUME | POOR SURFACE (danger of falls) |
| Signal Conditions | |
| TIMING TOO SHORT | TIMING TOO LONG |
| BAD SIGNAL DESIGN | BAD SIGNAL INSTALLATION |
| PED CAN'T SEE SIGNAL | DRIVER CAN'T SEE SIGNAL |
| Land Use/Characteristics | |
| BARS/PACKAGE STORES | OLD AGE FACILITIES |
| PERSONAL DANGER | |
