“…Together with traffic signals, stop sign were regarded as the explanatory factors, because the poor visibility of stop sign due to traffic condition (e.g., percentage of large size vehicle) makes the driver more likely to fail to stop [18,29]. In many cases, drivers fail to yield right of way to other road users owing to inadequate attention allocation under the complex intersection situations [30]. These complex traffic environment and geometric sizes are different according to the types of intersection.…”

Driving violation has been identified as one of the prominent contributing factors involved in crashes occurring at intersections. However, very little literature has studied the influence of contributory factors on driving violation. The goal of the present study was to analyze the effect of contributory factors on traffic sign and signals (TSS) violation, turning-yielding-signaling (TYS) violation, and speeding related (SR) violation at intersections, and the likelihood of each type of driving violation was predicted by using a multinomial logistic model. The findings of this study indicated that younger drivers (ages 15-24) had a propensity to commit SR violations, but older drivers (ages 65+) had the adverse situations. The likelihood of SR violations for males was higher than TYS violations, while contrary outcome was obtained during daylight. At traffic sign or signals controlled intersections, the odds of TSS violations and TYS violations were greater than SR violations, and similar outcomes were gained in four-way intersections or T-intersections. Drivers distracted cognitively were more likely to be in commission of TYS violations than SR violations, whereas it is opposite to passenger or in-vehicle related distractions. Inattention/distraction significantly affected the likelihood of each type of driving violation. Implications of the findings from current study are discussed.

“…At experiment, the driver had the task to drive through the T-intersection, turning right, while different conditions of traffic occurred. [9] Tests were designed in matrix 2x2 where from one side there have been changed number of Areas of Interest (AI)-there were one or two AI's: other vehicles from the left, and pedestrians at the right -and traffic density -two different densities of traffic from the left at the intersection: with about 70 or about 110 meters between successive vehicle.…”

Roundabouts represent one of the most used road intersection. The reduction of conflict points between trafficflows, associated with the moderation of the driving speed, in fact, makes them preferable to signalizedintersections. However, great attention should be paid to bicycle and pedestrian paths present in the roundabout, because incidental statistics show that not always secure accessibility of these vulnerable users is ensured. According to this, the design approach of roundabouts must consider not only the transportation aspects, but also the drivers' behavior. Their mechanisms of understanding, recognition and decision, in fact, heavily influence the mutual interaction with pedestrians and cyclists. Furthermore, considering that users widely scan with eyes the surrounding environment during the driving task, searching for the relevant information on their spatial and temporal position, is crucial to consider which elements of the road environment are seen and considered by drivers, in order to design roundabouts that are safe for all categories of users. This paper reports the results of an experimental test, which involved a sample of drivers who have traveled by car along a road section including two roundabouts. By an innovative eye tracking equipment, able to track the eye movements (saccades), the sight point of the drivers' eye and their visual behavior in entering, circulating and exiting from the roundabouts have been analyzed. The interaction with non-motorized users was focused, obtaining useful information for the design of cycling and walking paths in these intersections.
