The goal of this study is to research on pedestrians of mid-block crosswalks controlled by push-button signal. According to the psychological analysis of the crossing pedestrians under the push-button signal, it was found that crossing psychology of pedestrians under this mode is different from the fixed-time and no signal mode. Data were collected from one typical mid-block crosswalk controlled by push-button signal. Analysis on the data showed that the demand of pedestrians when crossing the street from time and space is different. The statistics theory was used to get the arrival law of pedestrian. It demonstrated that the arrival law obeyed the negative binomial distribution. Based on the survey, we knew that pedestrian speed varied with the different time of pedestrian green lights. After analysis on the signal timing of the investigated crosswalk, we knew that the timing had great impacts on pedestrians' behavior.
