This study aims to evaluate traffic safety facilities in school zones in Busan Metropolitan City through Importance-Performance Analysis. This study investigated the traffic safety facilities in nine school zones, which have relatively more traffic accidents in Busan Metropolitan City from 2020 to 2022, through a field study and an Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). It identified their performance(i.e., compliance rate) and importance to derive measures for the improvement of traffic safety facilities in school zones. The field study showed that the compliance rate of starting points among traffic safety signs was low, and no speed limits were complied with the installation regulations among traffic road markings, but road safety facilities were generally well managed and operated. As a result of AHP, the order of importance was road safety facilities, traffic safety signs, and traffic road markings. More specifically, speed bumps, safety signs, and crosswalks were found to be more important than others in road safety facilities, traffic safety signs, and traffic road markings, respectively. Importance- Performance(compliance) Analysis revealed that the traffic safety facilities necessary to be most urgently improved are starting points. This result can be resorted to underlying measures to determine priorities for installing and operating traffic safety facilities in school zones.
