| Abstract | This study focuses on observing the pedestrian traffic lights at two road crossings and three junction crossings located in Bangkok, Thailand. The data has been collected for traffic light phases and pedestrian light phases. All are pedestrian two-way crossings. Each crossing width is measured. The minimum green signal lengths are computed using the crossing width information. These are compared with the actual green signal lengths for all crossings. The study finds that actual green signal lengths are not enough. The warning remaining time for pedestrians to cross is not enough that pedestrians needs to run to get through causing unsafe conditions. Pedestrians also do not understand the pedestrians' rule of law that they should stop when warning of pedestrian traffic light showing as flashing. The minimum pedestrians' green interval lengths should be considered with pedestrians' startup lost time and crossing width. |
