Pedestrian safety performance is defined in terms of signal compliance and conflicts. Pedestrians constitute the highest proportion of fatal collisions in Costa Rica and are primarily accommodated at signalized intersections when crossing urban roadways. Pedestrian compliance and conflict data was manually collected for over 13,000 crossing pedestrians at 20 signalized intersections on a 2.4 km study segment during a two month period. The data was analyzed to determine signal compliance characteristics; conflict severity and characteristics; the distribution of pedestrian conflicts during each interval of the pedestrian phase; and the relationship between pedestrian gender and safety. This paper presents the analysis results for the intersection with the poorest signal compliance on the study segment. Infrastructure and operational factors contributing to poor signal compliance and conflicts, as well as opportunities to improve pedestrian safety at this intersection are discussed. The results of this research improve the understanding of pedestrian safety at signalized intersections and the developed methodology can be applied in other jurisdictions conduct evaluations.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#ccc\"><\/div>Rebecca Peterniak, Jeannette Montufar<br \/>\r\n<span class=\"red bold\">Dr. Charles H.

Les mesures indirectes utilis\u00e9es sont: (1) le respect des pi\u00e9tons vers les feux de circulation (conformit\u00e9); et (2) les conflits. La majorit\u00e9 des personnes mortellement bless\u00e9es dans des accidents routiers au Costa Rica sont des pi\u00e9tons, et ces d\u00e9c\u00e8s sont concentr\u00e9s aux intersections signalis\u00e9es dans les zones urbaines. Les donn\u00e9es ont \u00e9t\u00e9 collect\u00e9es manuellement pour 13000 pi\u00e9tons \u00e0 20 intersections au cours d'une p\u00e9riode de deux mois.

L'article analyse les facteurs infrastructure et op\u00e9rationnels qui contribuent \u00e0 la performance.
