Pedestrian countdown at traffic signal junctions (PCaTS): road trial

This report describes an analysis and overview of research findings from TRL's monitoring of Transport for London's (TfL's) eight trial sites for Pedestrian Countdown at Traffic Signal junctions (PCaTS). The trial involved conducting video-based observational surveys, as well as interviews with groups of pedestrians, before and after the installation of the PCaTS package, to assess how it influenced both attitudes and understanding of pedestrians, and the behaviour of pedestrians and drivers. This report describes an outline of the surveys conducted, the results of the surveys and then interprets their meaning. Further details of the methodology and detailed findings are provided in the technical appendix to this report.
