“…Security is a human need [10]. The improvement of road safety is affected by many elements related not only to the promotion of proper behaviour among drivers [11][12][13], but also to the proper organisation of traffic, the appropriate technical condition of roads and vehicles [14][15][16][17][18]. The most commonly used models in security are: control, convergence, deviation and management models, derived from the general theory and latent conditions, pathological, vector-protection, energy flow and energy improvement models energy flow and energy enhancement models derived from epidemiological and energetic theories [19].…”

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.

“…Furthermore, a lack of immediate first aid can make situations critical and lead to increased complications and secondary injuries [ 5 , 6 ]. In order to mitigate the harmful effects of accidents and improve the outcome of injuries, it is also essential to popularize first aid training and ensure the preparedness of different groups [ 7 ]. Previous studies have suggested that one of the focus groups on first aid willingness should target adolescents, as this could help to increase the quality of first aid and shorten the time gap for providing proper help [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

First aid is a key factor in preventing further deterioration in an accident, saving lives, or improving treatment in emergencies. However, the reasons behind the willingness to provide first aid are still unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of social problem-solving and prosocial behavior in the dimension of first aid willingness. Self-administered questionnaires were used to evaluate the dimensions of first aid willingness (first aid willingness for peers, first aid willingness for strangers, knowledge, and negative emotions), social problem solving (positive problem orientation, negative problem orientation, rational problem solving, avoidance style, and impulsivity/carelessness) and prosocial behavior. A total of 497 school-aged students between the ages of 12 and 15 years (201 boys and 296 girls) participated in this study. Our results showed that positive problem orientation (p < 0.05) and rational problem solving (p < 0.001) are significant factors in determining first aid willingness for both peers and strangers. On the other hand, avoidance style orientation (p < 0.05) has a negative influence on the willingness to provide first aid to peers and strangers. Negative problem orientation (p < 0.001) only predicted negative emotions related to emergencies. Furthermore, prosocial behavior (p < 0.001) was more strongly associated with first aid willingness than social problem solving. Our study suggested that improving social competence could be a key factor in increasing first aid provision in real time, which could save lives in emergencies.

“…The main causes of accidents are inappropriate of vehicle speed, not taking into account the current road conditions or regulations, drunk driving and random events. Safety is a basic human need [2]. The aim of this research is to assess the behavior of pedestrians at pedestrian crossings in the city of Pila and to evaluate their safety.…”

Every year, on Polish roads, many deaths occur. In the best case scenario, only the vehicle is damaged. The number of road accidents is extremely high. Road safety is mainly affected by the reckless behavior of pedestrians at street crossings. Undoubtedly, road safety is an important issue. The aim of this article is to analyze the behavior of pedestrians at crossings and to evaluate the function of pedestrian crossings. For this purpose, a questionnaire study was conducted, in which respondents were asked whether they take precautions and whether they use cell phones at pedestrian crossings. Moreover, an assessment was performed of the safety of a selection of pedestrian crossings: whether they are well lit, and whether the respondents have been involved in a traffic accident. From the analysis of the survey, it can be concluded that the number of pedestrians taking precautions at pedestrian crossings averaged 86.46%; 25.69% of the respondents admitted that they have used a cell phone at a pedestrian crossing. In addition, the survey confirmed that the most dangerous pedestrian crossings are those that do not have traffic lights. It was also found that those who have a driver's license should actually be more vigilant at pedestrian crossings when driving.
