行人是最易受伤害的道路使用者，在新加坡，每四例道路死亡中就有一例是行人。在所有行人死亡意外中，有22%发生在有灯号的行人过路处，虽然这些过路处是指定让行人过马路的设施，但有灯号的行人过路处是按时间划分的。因此，研究行人在这些地点横过马路的行为，以进一步加强他们的安全，是十分重要的。特别是违规者，遇到交通冲突或事故的风险更高。研究了行人的违规行为，并建立了与因变量的关系，如等待时间，冲突的交通车道数，冲突的车辆交通量和行人的个人特征。从研究中获得的结果可用于预测违规行为，确定对策和建立现实的微观模拟模型，以进一步加强这些过境点的安全。在可能的情况下，应提出改善行人过路处设计的建议
Pedestrians being the most vulnerable road users, take up about one in every four road deaths in Singapore. Of all pedestrian fatal accidents, 22% occurred at signalised pedestrian crossings though they are time-separated designated facility for pedestrians to cross the road. As such, it is important to examine crossing behaviour of pedestrians at these locations to further enhance their safety. Violators, in particular, have higher risks of encountering traffic conflicts or accidents. Violating behaviour of pedestrians is studied and a relationship is established with dependent variables such as waiting time, the number of conflicting traffic lanes, conflicting vehicular traffic volume and personal characteristics of the pedestrian. The outputs obtained from the study can be used for predicting violations, identifying countermeasures and establishing realistic micro-simulation modelling to further enhance safety at these crossings. Recommendations on enhancing design for pedestrian crossings shall be made where possible
