Abstract

In the city area in Japan, about 50% of the traffic accident in a non-trunk road is a crossing-crash accident in a non-signal intersection. For this reason, prevention of the crossing-crash accident in a non-signal intersection is important in a city area. However, the research which analyzed the structural feature of the intersection which a crossing-crash accident tends to happen or are easy to occur frequently is not seen. So, in this research, the relevance of the occurrence condition of a crossing-crash accident and some intersectional structural features is analyzed for the non-signal intersection in a city area. The characteristics considered to influence a passing behavior as an intersection feature, such as intersectional size and passing regulation, were used.
