Analysis of Factors Associated with Pedestrians’ Crossing Behavior along MacArthur Highway, San Matias, Santo Tomas, Pampanga
Abstract
As the population continues to grow, a significant number of individuals rely on pedestrian crossings in their daily lives. However, people exhibit different behaviors when using such facilities, which can lead to traffic congestion and conflicts with other road users. Pedestrian behavior is a complex issue influenced by various factors, including pedestrians themselves, as well as traffic, road, and environmental characteristics. This study aims to explore the subjective factors underlying pedestrian crossing behavior at an unsignalized intersection along MacArthur Highway, San Matias, Santo Tomas, Pampanga. Through a review and collation of various studies, potential factors were identified and grouped into five main categories: pedestrians' attitudes, positive behaviors, negative behaviors, perceptions, and preferences. A survey questionnaire was utilized to gather data from 390 respondents, selected through convenience sampling. The questionnaire consisted of questions to be rated using Likert Scale responses. Correlation analysis revealed direct associations between pedestrians' positive and negative behaviors, as well as their preferences, with their crossing behavior. This finding emphasizes the importance of pedestrian behavior and preferences in determining safe crossing practices. Promoting safety awareness and responsible behavior among pedestrians can prove effective in improving pedestrian safety. Based on the results, recommendations are provided for both the local government and pedestrians. These recommendations include maintaining marked crosswalks, installing additional pedestrian crosswalks, implementing barricades and signage, ensuring adherence to traffic laws, and encouraging the proper utilization of pedestrian facilities.
