Abstract
The objective of this study is to explore the influence of aggressive driving activities on microscopic traffic flow at crossroads in Beijing. Thus, we performed observations and corresponding statistical analysis to present some of the features. The results indicate that the number of occupying the bus lane and jumping the queue in the period of rush-hour is higher distinctly than those in the period off-peak. And the aggressive behaviors do not only block the microscopic traffic flow, but facilitate the vehicles crossing the crossroads quickly.
