Abstract:

Although they are widely used in many places, little research has been devoted to examining the acceptability of chain link fence and its impact on driver behavior. A questionnaire survey was therefore undertaken to gather information on the drivers' location or situational preferences, their perceptions of the outcomes, and the effects on their self-reported driving behavior. In addition, surveys on traffic speed were conducted at a number of locations with and without chain link fence. Our results showed that drivers do react to the presence of chain link fence by reducing their driving speed. These results suggest that chain link fence can be used as a traffic calming device, especially in school and playground zones.
