Abstract:
This article presents an analysis and recommendations for improving
the safety of road users at pedestrian crossings.
Keywords:
Pedestrian crossing, transport, pedestrian, road, traffic safety, driver,
region, traffic accident.
Analysis of regulatory documents and scientific studies on the placement of pedestrian
пcrossings has shown that the decisive factor in the placement of pedestrian crossings is the road
category, which will determine the recommended distance between pedestrian crossings, their
width and type. Pedestrians cross the road on average two to three times during the journey.
Ensuring ease and safety of movement when crossing roads in their movement is one of the main
tasks. For this reason, the proper
design, construction and reconstruction of appropriate crosswalks
should be the main consideration when designing walking routes.
The most vulnerable category of road users is pedestrians, as evidenced by data on road
accidents. The occurrence of road accidents is usually preceded by conflicts at pedestrian
crossings, which are expressed in drivers ignoring the rules for crossing pedestrian crossings, so
there are collisions "transport-pedestrian".
Road accidents involving pedestrians are most common
in cities and localities, but they have more
serious consequences outside of them. For the Mayor's office and traffic police, an important
issue is the placement of pedestrian attraction objects in the most optimal zone.
Indicators that assess the quality of traffic in retail outlets and on the periphery of the market are
bandwidth and speed. Capacity depends on many and various factors: road conditions, vehicle
characteristics, quality of traffic management, behavior of road users, environmental conditions,
etc. The overall effect of these factors can be determined only by experimental observation of the
traffic flow regime.
Studies by many experts show that the capacity of urban transport routes should correspond to
the minimum allowable number of pedestrian crossings and their most effective arrangement to
ensure pedestrian safety.
This requires sound recommendations for optimal placement and arrangement of pedestrian

crosswalks. The main factors taken into account when placing a pedestrian crossing are the
intensity of pedestrian traffic and the production capacity of objects adjacent to retail outlets and
markets. This does not take into account such factors as the width of the roadway, traffic
intensity, and the arrangement of the pedestrian crossing. Analysis of traffic conditions is used to
identify the causes and conditions of road accidents at a particular pedestrian crossing and
develop measures to prevent them. It includes the following stages:
- assessment of the presence of serious obstacles to traffic and their impact on
road safety;
- assessment of the availability and compliance with the current technical means
of traffic management required for this scheme of traffic management at a pedestrian crossing in
accordance with regulatory documents.
To apply organizational and technical measures on the street-road network, it is necessary to
know their expected effectiveness. There are two approaches to evaluating traffic efficiency:
- based on the final results.
- by the degree of achievement of the goal.
Recommendations for placing pedestrian crosswalks are based on
two goals:
-the number of conflicts between" vehicles and pedestrians";
- the speed of vehicles on main streets.
The condition for the first indicator is a decrease in such
collisions, and for the second indicator, an increase in the speed of
vehicles on main streets. Taking into account these goals and based on the results
of experimental studies, recommendations can be formulated
as follows: the distance between consecutive regulated pedestrian crossings should be from 600
to 900 m,
- main streets of regulated traffic and having regional significance for transport and pedestrians;
-the distance between the above-ground pedestrian crossing and the adjacent
underground passage must be set within 1000-1500m
-main streets of regulated transport and transport and pedestrian
zones of regional significance (pedestrian flow rate is 600-800
people / hour, the distance to a passenger transport stop is up to 130
meters).
-the nearest distance to a public transport stop and pedestrian
crossing must be between 200 and 400 meters
- for regional streets (the roadway width is 7-14 m).
However, the width of the pedestrian crosswalk has the greatest impact on the speed of traffic
flow . If the width of the crosswalk increases by 1 m , the speed of traffic flow decreases by an
average of 2.5 km/h.

.
Since there are many conflict situations at the pedestrian crossing in the market area, the
pedestrian crossing here should be above ground. This means that conflicts between vehicles and
pedestrians on the roadway are virtually eliminated.
Due to the fact that there are a large number of conflict situations at the pedestrian crossing near
the market, you can organize a pedestrian crossing here by organizing a pedestrian route with the
indication 1.14.2, in order to ensure that pedestrians briefly exceed the roadway. This offer is an
alternative to the above-mentioned offer and is economically low.
It is necessary to restrict the movement of pedestrians on the roadway in order to redirect
pedestrian traffic around the Chorsu market to underground
passages, and it is advisable to install a manually controlled traffic light in an unregulated
pedestrian crossing near the Green Market.
To prevent pedestrians from entering the roadway, it is recommended
to install pedestrian barriers at pedestrian crosswalks.
