Walkability in Yogyakarta (Rahmah, 2012)•Most obstacles in side walks were illegal parkings,

electricity/telephone poles and potted plants.•Most pedestrian felt anxious when crossing the roads

because high traffic volume, high traffic speeds and indiscipline drivers/ riders.•Most pedestrian felt reluctan to use zebra cross because

this facility was rarely found and required additional walking to cross the road.

8

Yogya People’s Expectation (Rahmah, 2012)• Minimum side walk width of 1.5 m to accomodate two

way pedestrian.• Accessibility for pedestrian with disability.• Accessibility for elderly pedestrian (flat side walk).• Obstacles (including from hawkers) should be minimized.• Shading from trees are required to encourage walking.

9

Problems for People Using Wheel Chair• Abrupt change of surface elevation such as stairs and

side ditch.• Availability of ramp from road to side walk.• Limited space to make turn.• Uneven road or sidewalk surface.

10

Problems of People with Physical Disabilities• High stairs• Slippery side walks

11

Problems of Blind People• Obstacles (trees, poles, oppened window).• Availibality/Poor provision of guiding blocks.• Unclear audio instructions in pedestrian crossing.

12

Problems of Deaf People• Can not hear oral information in terminal/ bus stop.• Can not hear audio warning such as car horn or sound of

moving vehicles.

13

Problems of People with Mental DisabilitiesDifficulties to find destination address in unfamiliar neighborhoods

Children Crossing Behaviour in Iran (Tabibi and Pfefer, 2014). Objective and Method• The aims of the research were to investigate the effect of

distractors on the pedestrian skills of children and adults. • The pedestrian skill of deciding when it is safe to cross a

road (decision-making skill) was assessed by a computer-presented simulated pedestrian task.

• The pedestrian skills of Grade 2, Grade 4 and Grade 6 children and adults were assessed in three conditions, without distractors, with on-screen distractors and with off-screen distractors.

Children Crossing Behaviour in Iran (Tabibi and Pfefer, 2014). Distractors

16

Children Crossing Behaviour in Iran (Tabibi and Pfefer, 2014). Results (1)• Off-road distractors, whether visual or auditory, increased

the starting-delay of all age groups.• No significant difference between off-road-visual and off-

road-auditory distractors for any age group except for Grade 6 children.• Off-road-auditory distractors increased starting-delay

more than off-road-visual distractors for Grade 6 children.• Off-road and on-road distractors increased the number of

missed opportunities for Grade 2 children.

17

Children Crossing Behaviour in Iran (Tabibi and Pfefer, 2014). Results (2)• On-road distractors increased the number of missed

opportunities of Grade 4 and Grade 6 children. • The increase was greater for Grade 6 children. • The number of unsafe crossings was higher in the

condition without distractors.• Overall, decision-making skills were vulnerable to

distractors. • The degree of vulnerability differed depending on age and

the specific measures of pedestrian skill.

Printed Materials Available for Children/ Parents Traffic Safety Education • For children 3-5 years old• For children 6-8 years old• For children 9-11 years old• Parental guide for 3-5 years old children• Parental guide for 6-8 years old children• Parental guide for 9-11 years old children

20

Socialization Materials for 3-5 Years Old• Actually the basic materials are the same for all age

groups.• However in for the older age groups, feed back from

children are gathered using more complicated method.• In some cases there are additional materials.
