| Abstract |
Recent, statute and various projects for pedestrian right and pleasant walk environment are ongoing as a result. Especially, Seoul Metropolitan Government has implemented the pilot project of Pedestrian Priority Road to secure the pedestrian right on side roads of residential area since 2013, and more than 60 projects are completed currently as of 2017. The project seeks the inducement of speed reduction of vehicle as its major solution through visual design elements on the surface of side roads. Different design elements are used in the current projects, but its effects on the driver's behavior haven't been investigated on the basis of empirical research. This study examines how visual elements of design on pedestrian priority roads are recognized by the driver, and how these elements affect on the driving behavior. Consequentially, differentiation of design of the road is proved to contribute to the driver's recognition between pedestrian priority roads and other normal roads, but the detailed design elements are difficult to recognize enough to affect the driver's momentary driving behavior. |
