Abstract

<p>In Japan, Article 10 of the Road Traffic Law stipulates that pedestrians must use the right edge of a road without sidewalks. It should be noted that there is an exception that when the right side of the road is dangerous or there is no other choice, the pedestrian is allowed to move to the left side of the road, and the decision is left to the pedestrian. Nevertheless, it is not obvious which is safer for pedestrians to walk. Based on the above problem consciousness, this paper proposes a model for the relationship between pedestrians' walking position and the risk of contact with vehicles running straight on the intersection of a residential road where there is no signal, no stop restriction on the vehicle side, and poor visibility. The proposed model was applied for a case study in Iijima-Naganonaka-cho district in Akita City, and quantitative safety evaluation of pedestrians' walking position was tried. As a result of the analysis, it has been found that the left side walking was safer under the condition assumed in this study.</p>
