The probability of a cycling crash is much higher at intersections as along the road. A number of reasons contribute to this difference, for example car drivers overlooking cyclists when taking a turn. There have been attempts to quantify the risk at prototypical, un-signaled intersections featuring different levels of cycling infrastructure, as well as cyclists' perception of risk of these intersections. However, these attempts are limited to regular, four-arm intersections, although irregular intersections featuring both a higher and a lower nwnber of anns as weil as odd angles are likely to pose additional challenges for cyclists. There appears tobe little research on the question how the complexity and layout of such intersection affects cyclists perception of risk, as weil as their allocation of attention towards the different arms of an intersection. In, we presented a first approach to taclde this issue in a virtua1 reality (VR) based setup. We found evidence that tbe type oftum affected the subjective risk (e.g. with. a higher risk associated with situations requiring a sharp turn or to continue to an offset road), but no effects of the general position of an intersection arm in relation to the cyclist' traveling trajectory. However, the repeated exposure to the same intersection in this stu.dy limits the conclusiveness of the findings. We thus developed a more flexible virtual environment allowing us to investigate the attention allocation and risk. perception at various types of intersections.
