Red light violation and pedestrians ’ modal salient beliefs about unsafe road crossing behavior: a qualitative study

Conclusion: Based on the major findings, reducing pedestrians ’ red light violations needs to focus: on the perceived negative and positive consequences and feelings of this behavior like getting injured, and saving time respectively; on the approval role of friends/peers, and the disapproval role of family; and on the fear of accident as a barrier, and rush ing as a facilitating factor. More precise quantitative research is needed to determine the predictive power of these factors in such risky behavior.
