Background and Objectives: One of the most important factors in traffic engineering is pedestrian crossing safety. Investigating the parameters affecting the pedestrian's safety margins and their relationship on the identifying the main causes of accidents relate to pedestrians on the streets without the traffic signs and driving has an important role. This article examine some of the factors related to the safety of pedestrians and the relationship between them. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the videos were recorded of 56 pedestrians, were evaluated. This study was cross - sectional and conducted on the basis of observational data. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 21 software and linear regression method. Results: The results obtained from software has shown that the influence coefficients of various factors affecting pedestrian's safety margin that include waiting time before moving with 0.78, repeat looking at the vehicles before and while crossing with 0.58, looking time at the vehicles before and after passing with 0.73 and passing time with 0.29.  Conclusion: In this case study that has been done in Tehran Motahari street, "The pedestrians waiting time before passing " were determined as the most important factor affecting the pedestrians safetymargin on the streets without traffic signals.
