The aim of this work is to describe pedestrian-driver encounters, communication, and decision strategies at marked but unsignalised crossings in urban areas in the Czech Republic and the ways in which the parties involved experience and handle these encounters. The research questions we wanted to address in our study were: 1) What influences pedestrians’ feeling of safety when crossing a road at a zebra crossing? 2) Which factors influence drivers’ yielding behaviour and pedestrians’ crossing behaviour, and how do they look at these situations, subjectively? 3) What are the aspects of the communication between drivers and pedestrians, and what are the sources of misunderstanding? 4) What are the circumstances and, possibly, the causes of the conflict situations observed?
