What is Dynamics of Highway Design for Safety about?

An important aspect of improving highway safety lies in designing the geometric features of roadways in response to the characteristics and behavior of drivers. This is being applied to specific features of highways with evidence of improvement in operation and safety. However, much more can be accomplished. There is now available additional operational experience and observations, which can assist the driver's task in vehicle control and guidance, but which have not yet been fully reflected in design criteria. If judiciously applied, such measures could further enhance highway safety. The paper addresses itself mainly to this aspect and presents the thesis: when all known or accepted safety features and techniques are applied fully to a highway project, it may be expected that a significant improvement in safety will be achieved. An actual project is suggested to validate this approach. hltroduction Highway safety as it relates to movement of vehicles is a many faceted problem embodying various aspects of the driver, the vehicle and the highway facility. Although all elements to the overall solution must be advanced simultaneously and with equal emphasis, this paper concerns itsel
