Accident investigation and prevention by applying the location sampling technique to rural crossroads Faulkner, C.R. Primary Author mixed material bibliography TRRL 1977 id Indonesia 8 p.; fig.; tab. Trrl Lr 780 Trrl Lr 780 The experiment consisted of installing traffic islands in the minor road approaches, extending minimally to the left of the centre lines so as to discourage driving straight through the intersections, and to alert drivers, causing them to take appropriate action. Analysis of accidents reported over periods of four years before and four years afetr installation of the islands showed a significant reduction of 49 per cent of the total of accidents which would have been expected after allowing for external changes. The total cost atributable to the experiment is estimated to have been Å“19,000. During the 'after' period of four years (1972-5) the saving of accidents is conservatively estimated to have been 5 fatal, 15 serious and 20 slight injury accidents, representing a saving of Å“200,000 at 1972 prices TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS 625.7(047.31) Perpustakaan Direktorat Bina Teknik Jalan dan Jembatan Direktorat Jenderal Bina Marga - Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum (NPP: 3273244A00000001) 625.7(047.31) Fau a 0000001538 My Library 625.7(047.31) Fau a 1519 machine generated
