Worst intersections for pedestrians

Do Drivers Discriminate Against Minorities at Crosswalks?

In the total of 168 crossings observed by the researchers (who were out of sight), the black men had to wait 32 percent longer than the white men for a car to yield to them, with almost twice as many cars passing them by at each crossing. The researchers did not note the race of the drivers.

The sample size is undeniably small, but the results were more marked than the researchers expected. “Our data were so powerful,” says Kahn, who is also an expert in field research and experimental design. On the strength of those results, the researchers are applying for funding to expand the study and to look at other variables, including the race of the driver and the gender of both drivers and pedestrians.
