FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: unregulated pedestrian crossing consists of pedestrian path on traffic way of motor road which pedestrian path is marked at edges on sidewalks by road signs. On their pillars, video cameras are installed combined with device for vehicle speed measurement. The video cameras are oriented towards oncoming transport. The video cameras monitor vehicle presence on a road, and vehicle speed measurement device fixes vehicle speed at a distance of 100 and 50 meters from nearest edge of pedestrian crossing. At these distances additional lines of road marking are drawn, and additional informative signs are installed. When traffic regulations violations by vehicle drivers are fixed the vehicle forced stopping device is actuated. This stopping device is located at 5 meters before nearest edge of pedestrian crossing. At the moment of proposed device actuation, headlamp light is reflected by light-reflective coating of suddenly appearing obstacle thus attracting driver's attention.

EFFECT: lower accident rate on unregulated pedestrian crossings.
