Pedestrian safety in road traffic – studies, recommendations and proposed improvements

Pedestrians are involved and most frequently the victims of every third road accident in Poland. Pedestrian accidents most frequently occur in complex circumstances, as a result of many factors related to the behaviour of drivers and pedestrians. The basic parameters that determine road safety include the perception of traffic and visibility on the road. The paper will present the results of research conducted within the project commissioned by the National Road Safety Council Secretariat titled “The methodology of systematic study on pedestrian behaviour and pedestrian - car driver relations”. The authors will present the impact of location, type of cross-section and other selected parameters on the behaviour of drivers and pedestrians in the area of pedestrian crossings. The paper will also present recommendations for the design of pedestrian crossings and monitoring road user behaviour at pedestrian crossings.
