This work focuses on the importance of creating safe, accessible, and easily understood installations that prioritize the needs of pedestrians. This includes considerations for road design and land planning, with an emphasis on pedestrian safety advocacy. The research explores how the design of roads and the overall built environment can either prevent pedestrian accidents or increase vulnerability. The section on road safety delves into how inadequate planning can contribute to pedestrian accidents during the construction of sidewalks, and it offers examples of design elements that can enhance pedestrian safety. The study also addresses how land use policies can impact the safety of pedestrians, highlighting strategies to reduce risks associated with land use. The paper discusses policy and planning reforms aimed at promoting pedestrian safety and provides recommendations to enhance pedestrian security. Understanding pedestrian behaviors in mixed traffic scenarios is crucial for maintaining facilities and improving pedestrian safety at designated intersections. The research analyzes pedestrian behaviors at intersections, including walking speeds, compliance with traffic signals, and interactions between pedestrians and vehicles. Factors influencing these behaviors are identified through statistical analyses. To assess crossing behaviors and the impact of various factors on compliance with traffic signals, a survey was conducted with 719 pedestrians at three signalized intersections in Nasik, India. The study calculates average walking speeds for different age groups, with 1.02 m/s for the elderly and 1.40 m/s for adult pedestrians. Logistic regression models are developed to predict the probabilities of pedestrian violations and interactions. This research serves as a valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners, offering insights into pedestrian behavior at designated crossings and improving models for pedestrian safety under various traffic flow conditions.
