Question: Consider the types of poor driving habits that might occur at traffic light. Make a
list of the 7 poor driving habits (perhaps: running late, speeding, no turn signal, truing from
wrong lane tec.) you consider most likely to happen, and the category of ‘other’ to that list.
a. Compose a check sheet to collect the frequency of occurrence of these habits. Using
your check sheet, visit a busy traffic light intersection at four different times of the
day, with two of these times being during high-traffic periods (rush hour, lunch hour).
For 15 to 20 minutes each visit, observe the frequency with which the habits you
listed occurred.
b. Construct a Pareto chart showing the relative frequency of occurrence of each other.
 streaming light
 Speed
 Absence of turn signal
 Unable to produce left turn
 Don’t stop when turn right on red colored light
 Blocking junction on red
 Beeping horn when green light turns on
 Don’t taking observation of green light
 Rotate from in appropriate path
 In appearance going through light but stopping suddenly
 Others

A Pareto chart like the one shown below can illustrate the major habits that dominate the
behavior. Note: A classic
Pareto chart would also include a cumulative probability line.
