| 摘要： | Incorrect turns at highway-rail grade railroad crossings are a serious issue in traffic safety management. This study conducted before-after studies at selected highway-rail crossings in Florida to evaluate a cost-effective countermeasure that replaces continuous right-turn or left-turn arrows with straight arrows before at-grade crossings in conjunction with guidance information to reduce driver confusion in selecting proper turning points as they approach at-grade crossings. Based on the before-after comparisons of hesitation rates, the following conclusions were obtained: Replacement of continuous right-turn arrows with straight arrows plus guidance information on pavement upstream of railroad grade crossings can effectively prevent incorrect right-turns onto railroad tracks. |
