As a kind of environmentally friendly transport tool, mopeds are popular among clerks and students. However, mopeds violation behaviors become a serious threat to the safety of vehicles and pedestrians at mixed traffic intersections. This study investigates the nature of violations and observed behavior and characteristics of moped riders from video data and traffic count data collected. One intersection in Wuxi was selected to obtain the videos of peak hours. Results suggested that the violation rate of moped is 35% exclusive of improper behaviors. Occupying vehicle lane is the most common violation behavior, which has a violation rate of 0.16. According the result and the video, some characteristics of moped riders were summarized, such as group psychology, willing to overtake, and so on. Therefore, enhancement of traffic facilities and traffic management, and traffic safety education are necessary in order to reduce such violation behavior, to improve traffic safety in mixed traffic intersection.
