In developing countries such as Bangladesh, pedestrian safety is a pressing concern due to inadequate infrastructure
and increased vehicular traffic resulting in frequent conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles in urban areas.
Chittagong is the second-largest city in Bangladesh where, in addition to road accidents, pedestrians also encounter
challenges due to the prevalent issue of water clogging caused by the inadequate drainage system. The study aims to
analyze the experience and the multifaceted risks faced by pedestrians in Chittagong which include road safety
concerns as well as the threats during monsoon seasons. The research gathers data leading to twofold investigations
on 2-no. gate area, based on the physical infrastructure and the road users’ behavior using human perception analysis,
an in-depth questionnaire survey, and examining the previously occurring accidents. Analyzing the data, the paper has
attempted to shed light on the major causes and factors of pedestrian accidents in the area and suggested appropriate
guidelines to reduce accidents and enhance pedestrian movement facilities in similar scenarios.
