Abstract: The substantial increase in number of vehicles leads to tremendous rise of traffic volume and also the traffic congestion on roads. Almost every city in India is facing the traffic problems. These traffic problems leads to the loss of manpower and also increase of fuel consumption. Critical gap and lag are less the developed countries which confirms the ore risky behaviour of drivers in developing countries like India .critical gap is the most important parameter associated with gap acceptance study especially in case of delay and capacity estimation. Uncontrolled intersections in the developed countries are controlled by traffic signals like vehicle signals , pedestrian signal etc, but in vijayawada no one traffic signals and yield signs. It creates more problems and also leads to delay of traffic. This paper systematically analyse the behaviour of pedestrian at uncontrolled intersections.
Keywords: Delay, Yield Signs, Congestion, Uncontrolled Intersection, Pedestrian Gap.
