Abstract

The main objective of the work was inventory intersections like roundabouts in all cities with poviat rights located in two voivodeships of Poland: Upper Silesian and Masovian, and then performing users surveys of registered roundabouts. Survey research had two main objectives. The first one was to learn how vehicle drivers, pedestrians and cyclists perceived roundabouts as safe or unsafe road solutions. The second one was to learn about the behaviour of three users groups: vehicle drivers, pedestrians and cyclists on this type of road infrastructure in terms of traffic safety.

Highlights

  • One of the conditions for the proper functioning of each type of intersections is the behaviour of road users, i.e. drivers, pedestrians and cyclists by the road traffic laws

  • The second one was to learn about the behaviour of three users groups: vehicle drivers, pedestrians and cyclists on this type of road infrastructure in terms of traffic safety

  • Designing them on the transport network requires prior detailed analysis to ensure efficient service for their users on both private journeys and those supporting city logistics (Cieśla, M., 2015), (Cieśla, M., et al, 2017), (Szczucka-Lasota, B., 2017). It is worth learning the opinion of users about the perception of different types of roundabouts

Summary

Introduction

One of the conditions for the proper functioning of each type of intersections is the behaviour of road users, i.e. drivers, pedestrians and cyclists by the road traffic laws. The behaviours of transport network users are often different than those required by road traffic laws (Szczuraszek, T., et al, 2010). The behaviour of road users is subject to multifaceted scientific research. The aim is to learn about factors that influence decisions made by road users. For this purpose are used dynamic research methods (Cacciabue, 2007), (Wahlberg, 2009), (Sharma et al, 2019), (Sullman et al 2002), (Guzek et al, 2009), (Macioszek, E., 2011). Transport network users sometimes make wrong decisions or make mistakes in road traffic
