Highlights Gap acceptance at signalised pedestrian crossings. Longer accepted gaps at near end of crossings compared to far end of crossings. 20% of violators adopted partial gaps. Gap, gap type, stage of crossing and crossing speed affect gap acceptance.

    Abstract Gap acceptance of violating pedestrians was studied at seven stretches of signalised pedestrian crossings in Singapore. The provision of the traffic light signals provide a ‘safer’ crossing option to these pedestrians, as compared to uncontrolled crossings and mid-block arterial roads. However, there are still people choosing to cross at the riskier period (Red Man phase). The paper discusses about the size of traffic gaps rejected and accepted by pedestrians and the behaviour of riskier pedestrians (those adapting partial gap). The likelihood of pedestrians accepting gaps between vehicular traffic as a combination of different influencing independent variables such as traffic, environmental and personal factors was studied and modelled using logistic regression.
