Abstract
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable users of transport networks due to
lack of protection and also due to particular characteristics and behaviour
affecting the nature of their interaction with motorized traffic. The
knowledge of pedestrian attitudes, perceptions and behaviour may thus assist
policy makers in the better understanding of pedestrian behaviour issues and
safety needs and eventually in the planning and implementation of measures to
improve pedestrian safety. In the SARTRE 4 survey, the attitudes and
behaviour of a large sample of pedestrians are examined at European level for
the first time.The selection of pedestrians was carried out according to the
following criteria: pedestrians were selected as those respondents who
reported that their most frequent transport mode in the last 12 months was
neither passenger car nor motorcycle and who reported non-zero daily walking
distance travelled.
