Abstract

Pedestrians are the basic nucleus that uses the road, but interest in them did not emerge as a major indicator in the planning and design processes, and the study gave high focus on pedestrian behavior and how they deal with their crossings as the most important equipment that provides a safe and comfortable environment for pedestrian traffic, and the efficiency of the crossings And its importance in preventing pedestrian traffic from interfering with vehicle traffic and the extent of its respect for the behavioral aspect of the planning process. Al-Haram Street suffers from traffic problems with regard to pedestrian crossings, so cases have been studied inside Al-Haram Street that express the different types of crossings, and observation and monitoring has been relied on through field visits, photography and aerial maps. The results indicated that one of the most important reasons for non-compliance with some Pedestrians in the roads of their own lanes is the lack of infrastructure necessary to provide safe points for dispersed crossing, lack of traffic culture, failure of the designer to take into account the behavioral aspect of pedestrians, in addition to the absence of deterrent laws for violators.
