Abstract

Among urban road users, pedestrians are the most vulnerable group which is exposed to many serious risks. Death or serious injuries is inevitable from the collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian. From other hand, all civilians use this mode of transport almost every day. So, considering the safety of pedestrians can be very important and is always is one of the main challenges of urban authorities. The safety of pedestrian is a challenge which should be considered with urban transportation studies. Recent researches show that improving pedestrian safety facilities, especially CROSSWALKS, has a great impact on enhancing safety and reducing pedestrian collisions. So, using urban codes in designing and locating pedestrian CROSSWALKS can be very useful. In this research, after discussing the requirements for pedestrian CROSSWALKS, the shortcomings are presented and are categorized. Then, with field surveying in region 3 of Tehran municipality, the numbers of each shortcoming was defined and evaluated. In conclusion the pros and cons for each crosswalk was defined and prioritized.The results of this study represent that four priorities can be clarified: horizontal and vertical SIGNS, standards of intersection types, crosswalk construction, raised crosswalk and considering standard of raised SIGNS, reforming improper place of crosswalk, following proper distance, observing speed limit, standard of curbs and installing flashing lights, etc. for removing DEFECTS of pedestrian CROSSWALKS.
