RRFB, rectangular rapid flash beacon. † Correct: a pedestrian or cyclist crossing through the entire intersection within the lines of the crossing, without any errant behavior. Errant: a pedestrian or cyclist crossing the intersection diagonally, either beginning or ending the crossing outside the marked crosswalk. Mistaken: a pedestrian or cyclist aborted a crossing and returned to the original position. Unsafe: a pedestrian or cyclist entered the crossing without regard for traffic, or entered the road crossing part-way before stopping because traffic did not allow them to complete the crossing. * p-values from Fisher’s exact test.
