Study on the Behavior and Psychology of Pedestrian Traffic Violations on the Crosswalk

Pedestrian traffic violations on the crosswalk are common in many Chinese cities. As the weak side within many traffic participants, pedestrian safety is often not guaranteed. In order to reduce pedestrian violations and improve pedestrian safety fundamentally, behavior and psychology of pedestrian crossing the street should be studied and it is addressed in this paper. Firstly, a questionnaire survey was carried out to collect data. Then, frequency and causes of pedestrian violations, pedestrian preferences to crossing facilities were analyzed using mathematical statistics. Based on the analysis above the authors find that pedestrian violations is related to the job style, and the main reason for pedestrian violations is the psychology of saving, conformity and dependence. Finally, some suggestions about enhancing pedestrian safety education and strengthening pedestrian traffic management are proposed.
