| 摘要： | The objectives of this research were to study unsafe of motor vehicle drivers at railroad-highway grade crossings, to evaluate centerline barriers in reducing those unsafe driver actions, and to note any maintenance or other issues with the barriers. Driver actions were observed at two railroad crossings before and after installation of centerline barriers. A comparison of observed driver actions in the pre- and post-barrier periods provided information on the effectiveness of the barriers in reducing unsafe driver actions while periodic inspection of the centerline barriers provided information on maintenance needs. A major concern of the Nebraska Department of Roads is the potential for crashes at railroad-highway grade crossings resulting from unsafe actions of motorists such as, rushing the gates to beat an oncoming train or playing 'chicken' with an approaching train, among others. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Nebraska State Dept. of Roads, Lincoln. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
