摘要

Engineering solutions are often employed at intersections to improve pedestrian and bicyclists’ safety. Studies conducted have shown that some of such solutions provide marginal to modest safety improvements. It is envisioned that enforcement at intersections, coupled with engineering solutions, could potentially provide substantial improvement in pedestrian and bicyclists’ safety. This study presents the results of an enforcement program at 4 intersections on a corridor in order to improve motorists’ compliance thereby improving safety at intersections. The evaluation focused on the behavioral impact of the enforcement on pedestrians, drivers, and bicyclists using surrogate variables. Prior to the implementation of the enforcement, drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists behaviors were recorded at 4 selected intersections. Approximately 2 weeks after the implementation of the enforcement program, the same was recorded at the intersections. A statistical comparison of the surrogate variables was conducted to gauge the impact of the enforcement, at 5% level of significance. From the results, the enforcement led to 50% - 100% compliance of no right-turns on red. Pedestrian-vehicle conflicts were also reduced post implementation of the enforcement program by approximately 50% - 66%.
