Abstract
Every year, many people lose their health and/or lives on Polish roads. One of the reasons for this is behavior of pedestrians at pedestrian crossings, which affects the road safety. The aim of the article was to conduct experimental research, the idea of which was to study the behavior of pedestrians at pedestrian crossings in the city of Pila, the results of which can be applied to Poland. During the research, the behavior of pedestrians and the impact on the probability of a road accident were analyzed. Undoubtedly, the prevailing epidemic, during which people are in many respects limited, had an impact on the results obtained, therefore the number of people at the analyzed crossings may have decreased. The conducted research confirmed the Police statistical data that the most dangerous crossings for pedestrians are those without traffic lights.

Summary
Every year many road accidents happen on Polish roads. Many people lose their lives or health. The reason, among others, is inadequate behavior of pedestrians at. Despite the construction of new, safer roads and pedestrian crossings, the number of road accidents continues to increase and about three thousand accident participants die each year. Fortyone thousand people are injured each year. The main causes of accidents are speed maladjustment to the prevailing road conditions or regulations, driving under the influence of alcohol and random events, as well as pedestrians who are not checking whether the crossing would be safe before entering the crossings (Table 1) [1]
