pedestrians using pedestrian crossing bridges was 186 people and 586 people not using pedestrian crossing
bridges. Based on the results of the calculation of the effectiveness of the pedestrian crossing bridge, it was
found that it was 26.14%, so the effectiveness of the pedestrian crossing bridge was included in the
