Overtaking Prohibition Safety Effects on Two Lane Rural Roads
This paper presents the results of a cost-effectiveness study concerning the effects of an overtaking prohibition on two lane rural roads. Overtaking prohibitions are being implemented in the Netherlands aiming to improve safety. Overtaking frequency on road sections with and without overtaking prohibition are measured by means of camera observations Overtaking frequencies were determined by co...
متن کاملLateral Placement of Vehicles on Rural Roads
The purpose of this paper is to present the results of various studies which have been made concerning lateral placement of vehicles on rural roads. The term “lateral placement,” as it is used throughout this report, is construed to mean the position of the vehicle on the road in relation to either the right edge of the pavement or to the centerline of the road. Only two-lane roads will be cons...
متن کاملInfluence of road markings, lane widths and driver behaviour on proximity and speed of vehicles overtaking cyclists.
The proximity and speed of motor traffic passing cyclists in non-separated conditions may be so close and so great as to cause discomfort. A variety of road design and driver behaviour factors may affect overtaking speeds and distances. The investigation presented in this paper builds on previous research and fills gaps in that research by considering the presence of cycle lanes on 20 mph and 3...
