This study compares, on a simulator, drivers' performance (eye fixations and yielding behavior) at marked mid-block crosswalks in multi-threat scenarios when the crosswalks have advance yield markings and pedestrian crosswalk prompt signs versus their performance in such scenarios when the crosswalks have standard markings. Advance yield markings and prompt signs in multi-threat scenarios lead to changes in drivers' behaviors which are likely to reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflicts, including increases in the likelihood that the driver glances towards the pedestrian, increases in the distance at which the first glance towards the pedestrian is taken, and increases the likelihood of yielding to the pedestrian.
本研究在模拟器上比较了多威胁情况下有和没有提前让行标记和行人横道提示标志的横道标记处驾驶员的表现（眼动注视和让行行为），结果表明，提前让行标记和提示标志会改变驾驶员的行为，从而减少行人和车辆之间的冲突，包括增加司机注视行人的可能性、注视行人的第一时间提前量以及司机让行的可能性。
