Analyzing road risks and developing targeted countermeasures are essential for a safe and orderly traffic flow. However, previous intersection safety analyses were conducted based on crash data. Little research has been conducted on surrogate safety measures based on risky driving behavior. In this study, categorical boosting (CatBoost) and Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) were used to analyze the impact of features on traffic order using a set of multisource data that include roadway geometry, signal control, and land use. The traffic data for intersection entrances in Beijing were collected from navigation systems, field investigations, and application programming interfaces. The model results showed that CatBoost exhibits a prediction accuracy of 83.5%, a recall of 83.5%, and an F1 score of 81.1%. Moreover, the importance, total effects, main effects, and interaction effects of influence factors were analyzed by using SHAP. It was found that the congestion index (CI) has significant negative effects on traffic order. A larger number of lanes and more electronic traffic control were found to have a positive effect on traffic order. Intersection entrances with three-phase signals or off-peak intersection entrances helped increase traffic order. Moreover, a high green ratio for through vehicles can reduce the positive impact of CI on traffic order when the value of CI is 1.1–1.4, and the signal control scheme with a high left-turn green ratio would result in a safe and orderly traffic flow. The results from this study can be used for further studies on improving traffic safety at signalized intersections.
