AB  - Actual manuals and literature report different descriptions on the capacity of crosswalk. In this paper, pedestrian movement properties on signalized crosswalk is studied by carrying out series of experimentsunder laboratory condition. The influence of the directional split ratio in bidirectional streams on the capacity of crosswalk is investigated. It is found that the maximum reduction of the capacity occurs at directional splitratio of 0.5, which is different from the descriptions in High Capacity Manual (HCM) but agrees with the findings in [1]. However, the observed maximum flow is higher than that in previous studies. By comparing thefundamental diagrams among unidirectional flow, bidirectional flow in corridor and on crosswalk, significant differences are observed for  rho> 2.0 m-2. Interestingly, the capacity of bidirectional flow on crosswalk is closeto unidirectional flow in corridor, which is higher than bidirectional flow in corridor.
