Abstract

It's pointed out that drivers have to pay more attention for two-way traffic of bicycles on a sidewalk which many bicycles users pass through as customary in Japan. In this study, it is intended to identify the dangerousness of twoway traffic of bicycles on a sidewalk by analyzing near-miss accidents which were recorded a behavior on a driving recorder in case of heavy braking occurred. <br/>From the macro-analysis focusing on bicycle behavior, it is observed the difference of incidents condition based on passing positions of bicycle. It is also observed the difference of near-miss accidents type based on passing direction of bicycle. Furthermore, on an analysis of near-miss accidents on left turn vehicles at the signalized intersections of arterial streets, it is clear that a reversing bicycle on a sidewalk has a high risk because it conflicts with a vehicle more closely than the bicycle passing right way.
