RISKY BEHAVIOUR AMONG ROAD USERS AT LOCATIONS WITH HIGH PROBABILITY OF CRASH OCCURRENCE
The aim of this research is (1) to identify places with a high probability of crash occurrence (LHPCO) in Villavicencio-Colombia and (2) to carry out road safety audits in each LHPCO to evaluate the behaviour of road users and speed measurements. As a methodological structure, the analysis of cras...

| description | The aim of this research is (1) to identify places with a high probability of crash occurrence (LHPCO) in
Villavicencio-Colombia and (2) to carry out road safety audits in each LHPCO to evaluate the behaviour of road users and speed
measurements. As a methodological structure, the analysis of crash data is considered, linked to assessments of road safety
audits, with which it is obtained that motorcyclists are overrepresented in the statistics of road injuries. In addition, a total of
seven LHPCOs were identified. In these locations, pedestrians engaged in a large number of risky behaviours, and speed
measurements indicated that car drivers select high speeds near crosswalks. Interventions such as public education or police
enforcement are needed to reduce the risky behaviour of pedestrians and motorists near high-risk locations. |
