| Abstract | Pedestrian accommodation must be a basic piece of the configuration of any transportation infrastructure project. It can be defined as walkway and crosswalk (pedestrian crossing). Pedestrian have a right to cross road safely. Therefore road designers have a professional responsibility to plan, design and provide safe walking and crossing facilities. Pedestrian accidents continue to be a critical issue in Thailand. Not just the quantity of death and harmed pedestrians have continue to be expanding. Zig zag pavement marking at crosswalk is perceptual counter measure using for increase motorists awareness. This technique mostly use in Europe countries and British colonies around the world. This technique introduce to Thailand in recently and already apply in Asok montri road and Dinso road in Bangkok Thailand. This research assessed the effectiveness zig zag marking in Bangkok by evaluating motorist awareness towards crosswalk and public understanding about markings. Motorists awareness assessed by doing measuring speed reduction toward the crosswalk. Survey was carried out to assess public understanding of zig zag marking. The study found out zig zag marking locations in Bangkok have significant speed reduction compare to those do not have. Public understanding about zig zag marking remain in minimum stage. Study recommend to increase public knowledge about zig zag marking through public media. |
