Chandigarh is one of the most densely populated cities of the India. Here huge pedestrian gather in roads, junctions and intersections. At presents pedestrian crossing is one of the greatest challenges for the traffic and safety engineering. Present study deals with pedestrian crossing behavior in at intersections and normal traffic roads in Chandigarh city. To carry out the analysis at first number of crossings were collected from CTU and then survey were conducted to find out the existing pedestrian crossing facilities at near about 46 signalized intersections in Chandigarh city. The study reveals that in Chandigarh city area the generalized situation of pedestrian facilities are very poor. It signifies that about 60% intersections have no visible cross marking and about 57% intersections have no foot over bridges and underpasses. Six important intersections will be selected to count the amount of pedestrian crossing at peak period namely , Tribune chowk, old Airport Chowk, hello majra chowk,32 medical chowk, gurudwara chowk, kisan bhawan chowk, and doordarshan chowk etc. In this survey, direction wise amount of pedestrian crossing, number of pedestrian crossing with foot and number of legal and illegal crossing were collected. In some crossings at grade crossing becomes very risky because of its high traffic volume and high vehicle speed. But pedestrians always prefer at grade crossing for this reason at grade pedestrian crossing facilities should be improved by different type of latest technologies.
