Road safety researches have been, for the most part, neglected in the Philippines. This is in spite of the fact that road traffic accident statistics show that accident frequencies have been following an increasing trend. In particular, pedestrian safety should be given focus since pedestrian-vehicle accident accounts for most of the total fatal and injury accidents that occur. This study seeks to initiate an application of a technique called the Traffic Conflict Technique in the identification of factors contributing to pedestrian traffic accidents. This technique was developed primarily as an aid in analyzing causes of accidents by ovserving conflice between two road users - vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-pedestrian - with the basic assumption that conflicts are actually accidents minus the final component - collision.
