摘要: Historically, high speed signalized intersections have reported many crashes and have always posed a challenge to traffic engineers for enhancing safety at these intersections. The area close to the intersection, called the dilemma zone, poses a high accident potential for the driver in stopping safely during the yellow interval or in proceeding through the intersection before the beginning of red. The driver is in a potentially hazardous situation whereby, if he tries to cross the intersection at the onset of red interval, he may end up in an angle accident with the cross street traffic or if he accelerates through yellow, he may end up in a rear-end collision. The uncertain situation in a dilemma zone can potentially lead to rear-end or right angle collisions.
