Road users’ strategies and communication: driver-pedestrian interaction
The aim of this paper is to describe pedestrians’ road-crossing strategies, drivers’ strategies applied to situations involving pedestrians crossing the road, and their mutual communication (formal and informal), and to describe their encounters. Risk strategies and risky combinations of different strategies are identified. Risk and protective factors on the part of both pedestrians and drivers are described. Conflict situations are analysed and the causal nexus of events leading to such traffic conflicts is described. The conclusions are interpreted in the context of the traffic environment. Exploration of pedestrians’ and drivers’ attitudes and behaviour is summarised using focus group analysis. In this paper the outcomes of the focus groups are presented and discussed.
