Pedestrians are the most vulnerable user of the road without any safety gadgets and measures to protect themselves from any kind of motorized vehicle. The data and reports show that after two-wheelers pedestrians contribute to the most numbers of casualties globally and also on Indian roads. It has been usually observed that fatal accidents involving pedestrians have mostly occurred in places where there are no provisions, markings, refuge islands, or any other facilities and safety measures for pedestrians. The model consists of different variables that describes the safety standards of intersection for plebeians crossing that major and minor street. In numerous researches, many different variables methodologies are adopted for analyzing pedestrian safety and also for model developments. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has also adopted a legit methodology and considered various parameters before giving Pedestrian Safety Index to researchers and engineers so as to provide safety ratings for various intersections using the given Pedestrian Intersection Safety Index [PedISI]. So, further work was carried out on this basis and a three-legged intersection was selected for analysis namely the Sector-11 T-intersection along the Vidya path after determining all the variables, the pedestrian safety index is about 4.57 which is designated between Risk to High risk conditions. Thus, the model helps in categorizing the intersections or specifically crosswalks in case of pedestrians in the range of highly safe to highly risky according to the descriptions given in the safety indices which would help practitioners in prioritizing the intersection for providing safety measures accordingly.
