dc.description.abstractThis research investigates the safety performance of two types of pedestrian crossing control systems by examining driver compliance at these crosswalks in Winnipeg. The research analyzes driver compliance as a function of type of treatment, weather conditions, pedestrian approach location, and site characteristics. In addition, the research analyzes driver compliance before-and-after the implementation of 30 km/h speed limits in school zones. The findings from this research suggest that: (1) treatment and certain site characteristics (i.e., number of lanes) have a significant impact on driver compliance at crosswalks; and (2) weather conditions, pedestrian approach locations, and reduced speed school zones likely impact driver compliance at crosswalks but the findings were not always statistically significant. The research recognizes numerous factors that influence driver compliance and in turn pedestrian safety at crosswalks and highlights the importance of considering these factors in the provision, selection, and maintenance of pedestrian crossing control systems.en_US
