Abstract: Road accidents involving pedestrians are frequent at urban signalised intersections predominantly due to unsafe pedestrian crossings. A good proportion of these accidents are occurring at T-intersection. This study aims at analysing pedestrian crossing behaviour at signalised T-intersections. Data is collected from five signalised T-intersections in Delhi, India, by using video recordings and a perception based questionnaire survey. Data is analysed using Chi-square, student t-test and Kendall’s W hypothesis testing techniques. Significant variables are used to develop binary and ordinal logistic regression models. Results show that only a small percentage of pedestrians are abiding by the law to cross the road. Further a host of significant variables such as pedestrian demographics, trip purpose and state of the journey are significantly affecting crossing behaviour. The findings would be useful to improve pedestrians’ safety and enrich the knowledge of pedestrian crossing behaviour at signalised T-intersections.
