Abstract: Pedestrian, face difficult situations while crossing near intersections and midblock crossings. The risk is more on uncontrolled crossing. Accepting suitable gaps between vehicle in uncontrolled midblock and intersection crossing increase and decrease risk and ensure safety. In this study pedestrian crossing behaviour at Sati Uncontrolled Intersection (T) crossing on NH-146 at SATI Vidisha has been investigated considering IRC -103: 2012 recommendation form pedestrian services during 23-07-18 to 28-07-18 (Mon-Sat) in college hour (9:30 am to 5:30 pm). Factors affecting the crossing behaviour of pedestrian at Uncontrolled intersection(T) are Crossing time, speed, stages of crossing, number of interruptions during crossing, age group, walking and running behaviour, group or alone, pattern of movement, the type of vehicle which passes during pedestrian cross, negative safety margin are extracted by manually. Total 18,417 pedestrians were observed during the study and their behaviour while crossing was studied critically. The tendency of rolling gap behaviour was observed and examined for different age and gender group to analyse the risk involved. Rolling behaviour is predominant behaviour of pedestrian in this study. Young pedestrians take more risks in crossing on present intersection. Young aged pedestrian category poses more chances of interrupted crossing than other old and middle age category of pedestrians. Young aged male pedestrian are more tended to accept the smallest gap between the vehicle and them showing a risky nature of crossing. In this study, solutions in the form of pedestrian facilities improvement and awareness through education are recommended in pedestrian during crossing the road and improve crossing behaviour.
