Crosswalks are the critical links in a connected pedestrian network and crossing the street is the most dangerous aspect of being a pedestrian. In India, where pedestrian fatalities constitute around 50-60% of the total fatalities and 30-40% of all reported road accidents on National Highways occur at intersections, this research work was undertaken to find out pedestrian facilities provided at urban intersections, observed behaviour of motorists and pedestrians and their opinions.
