Perceptual countermeasures like enhanced curve posts and intersection edgelines show mixed results for reducing travel speed. While some sites saw speed reductions, effectiveness varied, suggesting site-specific impacts for these low-cost safety solutions.

Area of Science:

  • Traffic safety engineering
  • Human factors in transportation
  • Road safety research

Background:

  • Road safety treatments aim to mitigate risks at hazardous locations.
  • Perceptual countermeasures utilize visual cues to influence driver behavior.
  • Evaluating the long-term effectiveness of traffic calming measures is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the on-road effectiveness of two perceptual countermeasures in reducing travel speed.
  • To assess the impact of enhanced curve posts and peripheral transverse edgelines on driver behavior.
  • To determine the short-term and long-term effects of these treatments on speed and lateral placement.

Main Methods:

  • On-road evaluation of enhanced curve post treatments and peripheral transverse edgelines.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Data collection included speed, deceleration, braking, and lateral placement from video recordings.
  • Measurements were taken before treatment, immediately after, and 12 months post-treatment.

    • Main Results:

    • Results for curve treatments were variable, with mixed effects on speed and some improvements in lateral placement.
    • Intersection treatments showed more consistent speed reductions, both short-term and long-term.
    • No significant changes in braking or lateral placement were observed at straight-road locations.

    Conclusions:

    • Perceptual countermeasures can offer a low-cost solution for reducing travel speed at hazardous road locations.
    • Treatment effectiveness appears to be site-specific, influenced by factors like wear and tear.
    • Further research may be needed to optimize the design and placement of these safety interventions.
