abstract="OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this study was to compare the risky behaviors of e-bike, e-scooter and bicycle riders as they were crossing signalized intersections. <br><br>METHODS: Pearson's Chi-square test was used to identify if there were significant differences in the risky behaviors among e-bike, e-scooter and bicycle riders. Binary logit models were developed to evaluate how various variables affected the behaviors of two-wheeled vehicle riders at signalized intersections. Field data collection was conducted at thirteen signalized intersections in two cities (Nanjing and Kunming) in China. <br><br>RESULTS: Three different types of risky behaviors were identified, including stop beyond the stop line, riding in motorized lanes and riding against traffic. Two-wheeled vehicle riders' gender and age and traffic conditions were significantly associated with the behaviors of two-wheeled vehicle riders at the selected signalized intersections. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Compared to e-bike and bicycle riders, e-scooter riders are more likely to take risky behaviors. More specifically, they are more likely to ride in motorized lanes and ride against the traffic.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
