In this study, head-turning behavior is analyzed to determine the best location for pedestrians to confirm the approach of a vehicle while crossing a crosswalk. It was found that the head-turning frequency increases towards the entry of the crosswalk and the conflict point. Moreover, the analysis of different attributes indicated that the head-turning frequency at nighttime or by elderly people tended to be low, and that head-turning was performed more at the conflict point. These results suggest that there is a need to provide information about approaching vehicles. When a vehicle approached the subjects from behind, the head-turning frequency was low, implying the need for information for pedestrians. According to the above results, there are several important locations where pedestrians should confirm the approach of a vehicle to ensure their safety.
