Speed Variations Are Major Cause of Work Zone Crashes
Rear-end collisions cause the preponderance of work zone crashes in Virginia, indicating that a high variance in vehicle speeds is the major cause of accidents in work zones, according to a … [Read more...] about Speed Variations Are Major Cause of Work Zone Crashes
Speed Change Distribution of Vehicles in a Highway Work Zone
In response to roadway geometry and traffic control devices, motorists may change their speeds within a work zone. Speed profile data for 102 automobiles (cars and vans) and 49 trucks, which traveled … [Read more...] about Speed Change Distribution of Vehicles in a Highway Work Zone
Evaluation of Speed Limits in Kentucky
The objectives of this study were to examine current criteria and procedures used for setting speed limits on public roads and to recommend appropriate speed limits for various types of roadways. The … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Speed Limits in Kentucky
