For vehicle violations, two types were observed not yielding to pedestrians and stopping over the marked crossway. Four types of pedestrian's violations were observed crossing outside the marked crossway, not obeying traffic signal, distracted crossing (eating, drinking, or using a smartphone while crossing), and not using pedestrian's bridge.
