Abstract :In developing country like India, there has been a rapid increase in the pedestrian volumes and traffic-pedestrian conflicts in last few decades. The pedestrian facilities have been improper as far as the safety, adequacy and usability is concerned. To enhance pedestrian safety under mixed traffic conditions, there is a need to improve the pedestrian facilities on the urban roads (Un-signalized intersections). The present methodology aims to study on a total of 1526 pedestrian. Data was collected through the manual survey at various selected locations through opinion and questionnaire surveys. The data were collected at different locations in the CBD area of the city where high pedestrian flow was observed. At these selected locations, pedestrian volume count and pedestrian average speeds (m/sec) were observed during peak hours. Pedestrians have been categorized on the basis of different age groups with different gender. Flows are categorized based on crossing speed and direction. The final results were obtained from the analysis questionnaire and opinion survey data collected at various locations. The study will also be helpful to improve the existing pedestrian facilities, pedestrian flows (Ped/hour) and also to provide pedestrian safety measures on urban roads.
