Abstract

At intersections, the concentration of traffic conflicts and riding amidst motorized vehicles cause a sensation of insecurity in the cyclists. For that matter, several authors cite the implementation of cycling infrastructure as a determining factor to promote bicycle users’ safety perception. Thus, this study aims to investigate safety perception at non-signalized urban intersections in terms of presence of cycling infrastructure. The methodology applied was based on the application of an online survey assessing cyclist's perception in a set of intersection scenarios with cycling infrastructure, all based in Brazilian scenarios. Data were analyzed by methods of inferential statistics, in which were compared safety perception by type of cycling infrastructure. Results show that intersections with cycling track in the median are perceived as the safest, while intersections with shared lanes as the most unsafe.
