Bangalore is rated to be one of the fastest growing cities in Asia with a current population of about 8.8 million and the life style of people and their commuting habits have undergone radical changes in case of an urban areas. This tremendous growth is making unsafely for vulnerable road users like pedestrians. In this study 50 m stretch of road at Hebbal ring road junction, Bangalore is selected to analyse the pedestrian facilities by conducting surveys like pedestrian volume count, questionnaire survey, and accident data. The objective of the study is to obtain the maximum pedestrian volume count at selected stretch for analyzing and to give necessary recommendations. From the study it is concluding that pedestrian volume is high during working days from questionnaire survey are suggesting for the construction of underpass hence there is a serious need of pedestrian facilities such as underpass or pedestrian signal.
