Identification of opinions that university bicyclists and pedestrians possess regarding their safety from a bicycle traffic-related injury on campus

Creator:: Tuyls, Gary W.
Abstract:: This study investigated the opinions of bicyclists/pedestrians regarding how safe from a bicycle traffic injury they felt while on campus. Most earlier studies had been concerned with the taxonomy of bicycle/pedestrian accidents. Because of the paucity of research on attitudes of bicyclists and pedestrians, this research was undertaken. The survey...
