TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Yielding behavior of Israeli drivers: interaction of age and sex JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Rosenbloom, Tova A1 - Nemrodov, Dan A1 - Ben Eliyahu, Adar SP - 387 EP - 390 VL - 103 IS - 2 N2 - The main objective of the present study was to explore the yielding behavior of Israeli drivers. A series of observations were carried out at a busy crosswalk during rush hour to determine the association between demographic factors, i.e., the sex and age of both pedestrians and drivers and the rate of compliance with yielding regulations. The rate of yielding observed did not exceed 53%. Drivers within the 26-50 age range, excluding other age groups, tended to exhibit a higher yielding rate towards the members of their own age group.
