Methods of Increasing Pedestrian Safety at Right-Turn-on-Red Intersections. Users Manual

摘要

The purpose of the study was to determine current motorist compliance to RTOR regulations, develop and field test countermeasures for RTOR pedestrian accidents, and develop improved warrants and guidelines for prohibition of RTOR. Based on conflict and violation data, 30 countermeasures were developed as possible treatments for RTOR-pedestrian accidents. Based on an analysis of conflicts at 199 intersection approaches, improved guidelines were recommended. The final report consists of two volumes. Volume I is the Executive Summary and Volume II is the Research Report. The Users Manual was prepared to provide guidance to highway agency officials on techniques to improve pedestrian and motorist safety with respect to RTOR.
