Abstract:

Aimed at prevalent violations of non-motorists at urban intersections in China, this paper intends to clarify the characteristics and insecurity of violations of non-motorists at signal intersections through questionnaire and video recording, which may serve as the basis for non-motor vehicle management with the purpose of improving the traffic order and enhancing the safety degree of signal intersections. The study finds that majority personal attributes such as academic degree and income contribute little to non-motorists violations; while electrical bicyclists have relatively higher frequency of violations compared with bicyclists; violation rate and types of violation behavior of three types of surveyed intersections are markedly different. It is also found that conflicting number, conflicting rate and violation rate are positively correlated. Furthermore, running red lights, traveling in the wrong direction and rushing forward at the end of green light are most dangerous among traffic violations.
