Roundabouts are characterized by heterogeneous traffic flows, which can be challenging for pedestrians due to their design. The unique circular design of roundabouts necessitates pedestrians to adapt their conventional crossing behaviors, considering factors such as varying vehicle speeds, dynamic traffic flow, and the absence or presence of crosswalk markings. The objective of this study is to comprehensively examine and analyze pedestrian crossing behaviours and safety at two distinct roundabout locations. The analysis looked into various aspects of pedestrian behaviour and crossing patterns and revealed a significant occurrence of path change behaviour among pedestrians, particularly at exit points, indicating the dynamic nature of pedestrian movement within roundabout. The safety of pedestrian crossings at roundabouts under mixed traffic conditions was evaluated and Time to Collision (TTC) was chosen as the Surrogate Safety Measure (SSM) for conflict analysis. The two-wheeler’s TTC value was the lowest among the three selected vehicle categories. By comprehensively understanding the intricate dynamics of pedestrian movements, city planners and policymakers can make informed decisions to enhance pedestrian safety and optimize traffic flow and create more efficient and secure urban environments.
