Characteristic analysis of intersections in Fukuoka City where the accidents have increased

Hirota, Masaki, Prasad, Rohit Shiv

Although the number of traffic accidents across Japan has been decreasing year by year, there are some intersections in Fukuoka City where traffic accidents have increased from the year 2019 to 2020, i.e. before and after the pandemic. Our results show that, there are 34,464 intersections in Fukuoka City, and traffic accidents have occurred at 6,569 intersections (19%), while at 463 intersections (1.3%), traffic accidents have increased. Among these 463 intersections, car-to-pedestrian and car-to-bicycle accidents are relatively higher and most of these intersections have road width more than 5.5m and have a footpath. The reasons for the high number of car-to-pedestrian and car-to-bicycle accidents are the pedestrians and cyclists entering the intersection from both directions, and measures for pedestrians and cyclists may be necessary to reduce the number of accidents.
