Download or read book Evaluation of Wide Edgelines on Two-lane Rural Roads written by Benjamin H. Cottrell and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of 8-in. wide edgelines on the incidence of run-off-the road (ROR) and related accidents was evaluated. The treatment locations consisted of three two-lane rural road sections totaling 55.2 miles. A before-and-after design with a comparison group, and a check for comparability were used to analyze data. Five years of accident data, covering the three years before wide edgeline installation and the two years after installation, were used. It was concluded that there is no evidence to indicate that wide edgelines significantly affected the incidence of ROR and related accidents for any individual treatment location or for the locations combined. The related accidents include ROR accidents involving driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, ROR accidents on curves, ROR accidents during darkness, and opposite-direction accidents. Consequently, it was recommended that wide edgelines not be considered as a countermeasure for ROR accidents in Virginia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study compiled an inventory of rural two-lane highways under the operation of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), investigated typical dimensions and characteristics of such roadways, and utilized this information to perform a detailed accident statistic analysis. Crash statistics comparisons were made for highways with and without edge lines. In addition to general accident frequency analysis, varying traffic lane and shoulder widths, and roadway curvature, factors such as accident type, intersection presence, light condition, surface condition, crash-supporting factors, severity, driver age, and driver gender were considered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The previous 2011 study "Safety Improvement from Edge Lines on Rural Two-Lane Highways" analyzed the crash data of three years before and one year after edge line implementation by using the latest safety analysis statistical method. As an extension of the 2011 project, this study not only used two more years of crash data for the after time period but also applied the Empirical Bayes (EB) method in the analysis to estimate the crash reduction factors. Moreover, crash characteristics analysis is performed in this study to compare the difference before and after edge line implementation. Additionally, this project performed benefit and cost analysis.

Download or read book Safety Impacts of Edge Lines on Texas Rural Two-lane Roadways written by Nicholas Michael Warrenchuk and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roadway crashes are a detriment to our society, so improvements in roadway safety that reduce crashes are of extreme importance. Though it is clear that crashes on our highways are a drain both socially and economically, the contribution of roadway safety to overall community safety is difficult to quantify and has seen many approaches. The study first defines highway safety as a whole, and then focuses on safety improvements on rural two-lane roadways. One such improvement, highway edge lines, may be especially beneficial on such highways. A literature review indicated that edge lines may have a tendency to reduce accident experience on rural, two-lane roads and may affect vehicle speed and lateral position in the lane, which in turn may increase or decrease accident likelihood. After compilation of a database of rural, two-lane roadways in Texas, an accident analysis comparing such roadways with and without edge lines was performed. In addition to general accident frequency analysis taking into account varying traffic lane and shoulder widths and roadway curvature, factors such as accident type, intersection presence, light condition, surface condition, crash-supporting factors, severity, driver age, and driver gender were considered. Further, stationary roadside observations measuring vehicle speed and lateral position were taken during daylight and darkness on three rural, two-lane roadway test sites first without edge lines, and then again after the sites were striped with edge lines. Overall, the accident analysis showed that edge line treatments on rural two-lane roadways may reduce accident frequency, especially run-off-the road frequency, with the highest impact on curves and narrow roadways. The stationary observation analysis indicated some tendency of edge lines to increase vehicle speeds and also decrease speed variations, while moving vehicles toward the pavement edge on narrow roadways, especially at night.

Book excerpt: This report provides guidance for the design and application of shoulder and centerline rumble strips as an effective crash reduction measure, while minimizing adverse effects for motorcyclists, bicyclists, and nearby residents. Using the results of previous studies and the research conducted under this project, safety effectiveness estimates were developed for shoulder rumble strips on rural freeways and rural two-lane roads and for centerline rumble strips on rural and urban two-lane roads.
