Safety Improvement at Two-Way Stop-Controlled Intersection

Stop-controlled intersection represent potential hazards because of the priority of movement on the main road. The crossing and turning maneuvers that occur at intersections create opportunities for vehicle-vehicle, vehicle-pedestrian, and vehicle-bicycle conflicts, which may result in traffic crashes. Widespread application of low-cost, proven countermeasures can reduce the number of collisions. The purpose of this research was to provide e a series of countermeasure to reduce injury and fatalities on the highway system, and to assist state and local agencies in reducing injuries and fatalities in targeted areas.
