Abstract The article addresses the problem of studying the characteristics of traffic (including pedestrian) streams in areas affected by pedestrian crossings. Relations between these characteristics determine interactions between vehicular and pedestrian streams, the consequences of which include variable parameters of vehicle queues emerging in pedestrian crossing-affected areas, delay, difficulties crossing the road by pedestrians, etc. Such consequences may also include road incidents and accidents (knocking down pedestrians, rear-end collisions with the preceding vehicle, etc.). The problem in question is important for various reasons, including the share of road accidents involving pedestrians in the Polish road network remaining invariably high, and even despite some decisive actions aimed to counteract such incidents.
