在信号交叉口，左转车辆（左手交通系统）与行人共用同一信号相位是一种常见的做法。虽然信号灯人行横道的操作，给行人优先权的方式，事故数据显示，左转车辆并不总是能够给行人的方式。因此，重要的是要找到为什么左转车辆驾驶员没有给予行人合法的过路权的原因。为了研究交叉口角度对左转车辆驾驶员与行人的屈服行为的影响，本研究使用了2013年在日本9个信号交叉口进行的观察性研究的数据。在本研究中，与紧急刹车和加速避免碰撞有关的事件被认为是“非屈服”行为。结果表明，驾驶员在钝角交叉口的行为比其他类型的交叉口更“不屈服”。
It is a common practice for left turning vehicles (left hand traffic system) to share the same traffic signal phase with pedestrian at signalized intersection. Although signalized crosswalk are operated to give pedestrians prioritized right of way, accident data reveal that left turning vehicles are not always being able to give pedestrians their right of way. As such, it is important to find the reasons for why the left turning vehicle driver fails to grant a legally-crossing the pedestrian right of way. To investigate the effect of intersection angle on the yielding behavior of the left turning vehicle driver with pedestrians, this study used data from an observational study, conducted at nine signalized intersections in Japan in 2013. In this study events related with sudden brake and acceleration for avoiding collision is considered as “non-yielding” behavior. The results show that driver's behavior at obtuse angled intersections is more "non-yielding" than other typed intersections.
