Explains how one conducts research studies in the area of traffic safety. Information is provided on how typical measures are used, how to select a measure and a variety of behavioral principles that are usually employed. Examples are then discussed from work in the areas of pedestrian safety, increasing seat belt use and reducing motorist speeding behavior. These examples will illustrate how the measures are used and how treatments are selected.
Objectives:
- List three types of measurement used in traffic safety.
- List and provide examples of the five general treatment strategies in traffic safety.
- Discuss how five of the following have been useful to increase pedestrian safety:
-
- advance or offset stop bars;
- leading pedestrian phase;
- hot buttons;
- buttons that confirm press;
- wide turning radius and wide lanes;
- countdown signals and signals that remind you to look; and
- signs that prompt drivers of turning vehicles to look.
- Discuss the areas of change for both pedestrians and drivers to increase pedestrian safety.
- Describe the behavior principles for signs, markings and signals.
- Describe three important considerations in the use of a treatment package for pedestrian safety.
- Discuss the use of a lenient criterion (20 km/hr over the speed limit) versus the use of a stringent criterion (10 km/hr over the speed limit) and the effects on drivers speeding.
Keywords: Traffic safety, pedestrian, seat belt, motorist, speeding
