ANALYSIS FROM QUESTIONNAIRE

FACILITY:
Questionnaire survey was conducted for the sample of pedestrians. Questionnaires were
distributed to the pedestrians who crossed the crosswalks. Instructions and explanations of LOS
were given in order to clear what was expected from them. It was emphasized to respondents that
this study needs their perception of the level of difficulty if they were to use the particular
crosswalk. Respondents were requested to record their perception on a scale how comfortable
they felt as they crossed that crosswalk. To simplify the matter of providing an assessment, the
scale was made ranging from 0 to 4. Score 4 means very comfortable to cross and score 0 means
extremely difficult to cross. Pedestrians expressed their ratings of how well a particular
intersection accommodates their travel by referring to the intersection’s perceived comfort and
travel time. Surface quality and Path environment are assessed from the visual inspection.

BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS AND CROSSING CHARACTERISTICS:

Location (or) Site: 1 (Besant Road- Unsignalized Intersection):

The results from the respondents indicate that about 75% were males and 25% were females.
Almost all the pedestrians decided to cross the road whenever they feel they can cross with little
interference with automobile traffic.

65% of pedestrians decided to cross the road diagonally rather than at midblock.

80% of pedestrians are willing to cross the road without paying attention to traffic and crosses
the road while talking on cell phone (or) listening to music on head phones. Majority of the
pedestrians crosses the road other than zebra crossing. 60% of pedestrians crosses the road even
though there are obstacles. Presence of mid-block crosswalk and presence of other pedestrians
that attempts to cross influence the pedestrians decision to cross the road.

Location (or) Site: 2 (Ramesh Hospital Road- Unsignalized Intersection):

The results from the respondents indicate that about 85% were males and 15% were females.
Almost all the pedestrians decided to cross the road whenever they feel they can cross with little
interference with automobile traffic. 82% of pedestrians decided to cross the road diagonally
rather than at midblock. 80% of pedestrians are willing to cross the road without paying attention
to traffic and crosses the road while talking on cell phone (or) listening to music on head phones.
Majority of the pedestrians crosses the road other than zebra crossing. 45% of pedestrians
crosses the road even though there are obstacles. Presence of mid-block crosswalk and presence
of other pedestrians that attempts to cross influence the pedestrians decision to cross the road.

Location (or) Site: 3 (Near Police Control Room- Signalized Intersection):

The results from the respondents indicate that about 90% were males and 10% were females.

Analysis from Visual Inspection:

From visual inspection, the first finding is males crosses the road fastly when compared to
females. The second finding is dependent on age factor i.e., younger and middle aged group
pedestrians crosses the road more quickly than old aged pedestrians.
