The study examines the pedestrian crossing facilities near urban roundabouts in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Ordered logistic regression model results found that qualitative variables were more impactful in determining the difficulty of pedestrian crossings. With an 8.56% rise in the zebra crossing's directness, a 6.46% improvement in traffic volume safety, a 7.37% reduction in crossing latency, and a 10% reduction in pedestrian crossing difficulty were seen. The results also indicate that increasing pedestrian facilities would help with crossing challenges since pedestrians feel more at ease crossing when there is more space between cars and less traffic at roundabouts.

摘要

The study examines the pedestrian crossing facilities near urban roundabouts in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Ordered logistic regression model results found that qualitative variables were more impactful in determining the difficulty of pedestrian crossings. With an 8.56% rise in the zebra crossing's directness, a 6.46% improvement in traffic volume safety, a 7.37% reduction in crossing latency, and a 10% reduction in pedestrian crossing difficulty were seen. The results also indicate that increasing pedestrian facilities would help with crossing challenges since pedestrians feel more at ease crossing when there is more space between cars and less traffic at roundabouts.
