Parameter 4: Grade Crossing Safety Description: This refers to the exposure of pedestrians to other modes while crossing, the time spent waiting and crossing the street and the sufficiency of time given to pedestrians to cross signalized intersections. Rating Guide: Rating Description Example 1 Very high Probability of Accident with very high crossing time 2 Dangerous- pedestrian faces some risk of being hurt by other modes and crossing time is high 3 Difficult to ascertain dangers posed to pedestrians but the time available for crossing is less and people have to hurry 4 Safe – pedestrian is mostly safe from accident with other modes and exposure time is less and time available for crossing more. 5 Very safe – other modes present no danger to pedestrians 36
Parameter 5: Motorist Behavior Description: The behavior of motorists towards pedestrians which may well indicate the kind of pedestrian environment there is in that area. Rating Guide: Rating Description Example 1 High Traffic disrespect to pedestrians 2 Traffic Disrespect and rarely Pedestrians get priority 3 Motorists sometimes yield 4 Motorists usually obey traffic laws and sometimes yield to pedestrians 5 Motorists obey traffic laws and almost always yield to pedestrians 37
