Since pedestrians are particularly vulnerable when drivers do not yield at crosswalks, the focus of this research is to understand the factors that are
associated with low yield rates or crosswalk law non-compliance. In this context, the goal of this research is to study the traffic speed and vehicle
trajectory factors that affect crosswalk law compliance and stopping distance from the crosswalk. The results of this research provide new insights
into the relationships between traffic conditions, vehicle trajectory and compliance rates. Results indicate that vehicle origin, vehicle type,
stopping at upstream traffic lights, and changes in vehicle speed and headways are key factors to predict pedestrian crosswalk law compliance and
stopping behavior; changes in vehicle speed and headways have the highest explanatory power.
