Abstract:
MOTOR VEHICLE SPEEDS AND TRANSVERSE POSITIONS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY AFFECTED BY PAVEMENT MARKINGS ALONG THE ROADWAY CENTER LINE. THE TYPICAL VEHICLE PATH IS FARTHER TO THE RIGHT ON PAVEMENTS WITH A CENTER LINE THAN ON SIMILAR PAVEMENTS WITHOUT SUCH MARKING. IN GENERAL, SPEEDS HIGHER BY ABOUT 4 MPH EXIST ON PAVEMENTS WITHOUT CENTER MARKINGS THAN ON THOSE WITH MARKINGS. /AUTHOR/
