Özet:

 There are different types of crosswalks for pedestrians to cross the street and different methods of operation. Signalization can be used in the operation of at-grade and controlled crosswalk. In these crosswalks, signaling is activated by pedestrians pressing buttons placed on the crosswalks. In this type of crossing, pedestrians press the button to cross the road and the signaling system detects the request. Within a reasonable time, the system turns red for vehicles and green for pedestrians, allowing pedestrians to cross the street safely. However, these systems have some drawbacks. Various observation and data collection studies were carried out at the pilot pedestrian crossing on Atatürk Boulevard in Atakum district of Samsun province. In these studies, 227 pedestrians crossing the crosswalk and 791 vehicles stopped at red lights during the crossing of pedestrians were examined. As a result of the data obtained in line with pedestrian and driver behaviors, it is aimed to determine the operational problems in signalized crosswalk with pedestrian warning and to increase efficiency with the studies to be carried out.
