An investigation of pedestrian crashes at traffic intersections in the Perth central business district 2008-2012
Pedestrian crashes and injuries are a significant problem, particularly among lower-income countries and in pedestrian dense areas such as Central Business Districts and shopping precincts of higher-income countries. This project examined pedestrian crashes at traffic intersections in the Perth Central Business District, 2008- 2012, to identify potential risk factors, including the recent conversion of signalised intersections from ‘exclusive’ to ‘parallel’ walk. Based on the findings and a review of the research literature, recommendations for future research were provided, along with recommendations for the trial of various countermeasures that have been identified to reduce the incidence of pedestrian crashes at traffic light controlled intersections.
