EFFECTIVENESS OF FLASHING BEACONS IN REDUCING ACCIDENTS AT A HAZARDOUS RURAL CURVE (ABRIDGMENT)
MS Janoff, JG Hill - 1986 - trid.trb.org
There is extensive literature that describes the effect of flashing beacons on such driver
behavior as speed adjustment, but none has been identified that presents the effect of such
beacons on the frequency of accidents. The results are presented of an accident analysis
that was conducted to determine the effect of a flashing beacon on the frequency of
accidents at a dangerous high-speed rural curve. A before-and-after accident analysis was
conducted using 2 years of" before" data and 2 years of" after" data. The analysis revealed a …
