| Abstract |
It is well known that rumble strips contribute to reduce traffic accidents. The present paper provides the reduction effect of traffic accidents under specific highway geometries after rumble strip installation. Traffic accidents on freeway sections before and after rumble strip installation are compared when conditions of the highway geometric characteristics such as horizontal, vertical geometries are given. It is shown that rumble strips are effective under highway geometric conditions of down slopes or right curvatures. It is also shown that rumble strips are still effective with shorter length of installation. |
