摘要: |
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) deployed an Icy Curve Warning System (ICWS) on a five-mile section of State Route (SR) 36 in Lassen County over Fredonyer Pass. This section of roadway had a history as a high-crash location, with multiple fatal crashes. The vast majority of these accidents occurred when the pavement was icy, despite static signage that Caltrans had installed to increase motorist awareness. This study presents the results of research that investigated safety effects of the ICWS. |
