Resumen

This study explored the impacts of pedestrian-crossing configurations and other design features, on accident occurrences at signalized junctions situated on central public-transport-routes (PTR) of urban arterials. Statistical tests and step-wise regression models were applied to identify factors affecting accidents and to examine accident numbers of the PTR junctions as opposed to comparison-sites. At the PTR junctions, a consistent impact of pedestrian-crossing configurations on accidents was found, where a gradated-crossing with mixed-shifting is the least safe. Four-legged junctions tend to higher accident numbers relative to the three-legged ones. PTR junctions are characterized by higher accident numbers, related to comparison-sites, when controlling for other design characteristics.
