A pedestrian using a facility like a zebra crossing to cross reduces the potential risk of accidents because using zebra marking to cross is the legal way for pedestrians over drivers. The study aims to compare the behaviour of pedestrians for locations with and without a facility. Further, the paper identifies the variables influencing the usage of zebra marking using a binary logit model. The analysis shows a significant influence of gender, age, platoon and crossing behaviour of pedestrians in choosing zebra marking area for road crossing. The model explained 17.8% variance in choosing zebra and no zebra marking area and was able to identify 72.5% of cases accurately. The results show that for every unit increase in platoon size, the odds of being using zebra marking area are 1.128 times, respectively. A unit decrease in stage number of crossing increases the chance of using zebra marking by 1.32 times. Compared to pedestrian making path changing behaviour, the pedestrian making straight crossing behaviour is 5.65 times likely to use zebra marking area for road crossing. The result identifies variables like the female, straight crossing behaviour and increase in platoon size positively influence using zebra marking. However, the other variables like male, adult and stage of crossing negatively influence using zebra marking. Also, by comparing driver non-yielding behaviour, the driver non-existence is higher at the zebra marking area. This study helps in understanding the behaviour of pedestrians that will help in improving the crossing facility effectively.
