Priority Intersections are the most commonly used among the different types of intersections in urban cities.
The decision-making process about the type of the intersection depends on different criteria such as intersection capacity.
Most of the equations and mathematical models to calculate the capacity of the intersection depend on Gap Acceptance Model.
Existing models of gap acceptance are mostly based on data observed for drivers in developed countries.
It is not right to use these models in the process of planning and designing before checking the suitability of these models for developing cities like Gaza.
This is because the behavior of drivers in developing cities is expected to be different from the behavior in developed cities.
Therefore, the aim of this research is to study the factors that affect accepting gap acceptance in Gaza.
It aims also to build Gap Acceptance model to be suitable to be used in the local environment.
To achieve this goal, an intersection in El-Jalaa Street is selected as a case study.
It is located opposite to the AL-Barbary fuel station.
The data was collected by using a camera to observe the movement of vehicles, so it was located at a suitable height in order to cover all area of the intersection.
This research is limited to the through movement from minor street to major street.
Questionnaires have been filled by drivers who have been stopped by policeman on the side of the road.
Statistical analysis of the data showed that the near side critical gap was almost 3.8 seconds, and the far side critical gap was 2.9 seconds, which is less than a value of 0.06 seconds calculated according to HCM.
This difference increases the capacity of the studied movement by an average of about 48%.
This research studied the impact of more than twenty factors on gap acceptance including driver, vehicles, trips and traffic characteristics.
The results showed that the most important factors that affects gap acceptance were the gap value, the number of traffic accidents by driver, the trip duration, the delay and the driver's gap acceptance criteria (speed).
In addition to that, a mathematical model was constructed to estimate the probability of accepting the gap.
This study is considered as the first of its kind in Gaza Strip.
The results of this study are useful in the planning and designing process which is based on appropriate principles and models to the local situation in the Gaza Strip
