Abstract :
Traffic signal assigns the right-of-way to various conflicting traffic movements at an intersection. When a driver approaches a signalize intersection at the commencement of amber, there is a difficult decision to be made whether to pass or stop in the short period of time. This study is conducted to introduce a trend to reduce the probability of red light running which it is a common cause of accident on road. Determination of period of time that driver can pass the intersection and corresponding speed of vehicles approaching signalize intersection in that time are most significant. The data of off-peak hour traffic was collected to minimize the influence of congestion on driver´s behaviour. The finding of the study shows that the introduced trend of traffic signal installation can give an enough time to a driver who is approaching the intersection to make her/his decision whether to pass or stop that lead to reduce red light running.
