Title: Enhancing Safety Performance of Rumble Strips Through the Use of Reflective Striping: An Empirical Study on U.S. 285 in New Mexico
Accession Number: 01592862
Record Type: Component
Abstract: Although the transportation field has made significant progresses towards the improvements of the geometry of road alignments, stripe and marking elements, the safety features targeted toward driver error have plenty of constraints. Rumble strips and rumble stripes are relatively recent strategies that have been implemented and are aimed at aiding drivers that are experiencing fatigue on two lane and four lane rural roadways. This study examines the application, advantages, disadvantages, and the effects of rumble stripes on the overall traffic safety. Historical crash data of US 285 is analyzed as a case study to interpret safety performances of retroreflective rumble stripes. In addition, a survey of public opinions toward rumble stripes is conducted to evaluate public acceptance. The outcome of this study may be useful for better execution of traffic safety of rural roadways.
