This study examines the gender differences in jaywalking behavior among pedestrians in Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD). Observations were conducted at the intersection of Swanston St and La Trobe St, with male and female pedestrians recorded for an hour using tally forms. The aim was to analyze how gender influences crossing behaviors and decision-making in an urban environment. Key findings contribute to understanding pedestrian safety and urban planning dynamics in relation to gender-specific behaviors.
