ABSTRACT: This research is aim to analysis driver’s response to crosswalk marking. The parameter is used in this research is the difference speed between before and when passing the crosswalk. So, if any change of speed when passing of crosswalk, it means the driver response to the crosswalk. It is used t test with a = 5% to measure the level of significant of the response.
The effect of crosswalk markings on approaching vehicle speeds was studied at six locations in Jember City. The locations are Supriyadi Street, Slamet Riyadi Street, P B Sudirman Street, A Yani Street, Gajah Mada Street dan Hayam Wuruk Street .All sites were observed under two pedestrian conditions. In the “No Pedestrian” condition, speeds were measured with no pedestrian present. In the “Pedestrian Looking” condition, a staged pedestrian approached the crosswalk, stopped at the edge of the curb as though waiting to cross and looked square at the oncoming traffic.
The result of research is in the “No Pedestrian” condition , changing of speed is not significant. But, In the “Pedestrian Looking” condition, changing of speed is significant. So, the response of the driver is not to crosswalk but to “moving object” (pedestrian). The other factor why driver’s response is low is not completely the sign.

Keywords : driver’s response, speed, crosswalk, pedestrian.
