Increasing motorists' yielding of the right of way to pedestrians in crosswalks reduces the number of collisions between motorists and pedestrians. In this study we examined a gateway in-street sign configuration (1 in-street sign installed between the 2 travel lanes in each direction, and 1 on both edges of the roadway in each direction) on multilane roads. The first experiment compared the efficacy of adding multiple in-street signs used in a gateway configuration with a single sign between the 2 travel lanes in each direction. The second experiment compared the gateway in-street sign configuration with a more expensive pedestrian hybrid beacon. The third experiment compared the gateway in-street sign configuration with the more expensive rectangular rapid flashing beacon. The results demonstrated that the gateway in-street sign configuration produced very high levels of driver yielding, and that it was as effective as the 2 more expensive treatments.
在十字路口增加驾驶员对行人的让行率可以减少驾驶员与行人之间的碰撞数量。在这项研究中,我们研究了一种路口内路牌配置(在每个方向的两个行车道之间安装 1 个路牌,在每个方向的道路两侧各安装 1 个路牌)在多车道道路上的效果。第一个实验比较了在路口内配置多个路牌与在每个方向的两个行车道之间设置单个路牌的效果。第二个实验比较了路口内路牌配置与更昂贵的行人混合信标之间的效果。第三个实验比较了路口内路牌配置与更昂贵的矩形快速闪烁信标之间的效果。结果表明,路口内路牌配置产生了非常高的驾驶员让行率,并且与两种更昂贵的处理方式一样有效。
