      <title>Improving safety for people who cycle on rural roads</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1416810</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study aimed to determine how to cost-effectively improve safety for people who cycle on low-volume rural roads in New Zealand. Following a literature review and Crash Analysis System consultation, two treatments were identified for on-road trial: 1) Advisory signs on passing distance and 2) A 2-1 layout (adapted to the New Zealand context). The latter became a shared space arrow treatment after the 2-1 component was discontinued for safety reasons. The key performance measures of vehicle approach speed, vehicle passing distance, and bicycle speed were measured using an integrated suite of instrumentation on four bicycles. No significant differences were found between either of the treatments and baseline on any of these measures; however, Metrocount data indicated that there was a significant 2km/h speed reduction in the signage treatment area. The instrumentation data provided baseline measures of approach speed (76.8km/h), passing distance (2.12m) and bicycle speed (23.67km/h). Recommendations for future work on cyclist safety on low-volume rural roads include the development of standardised share the road signage, the further adaptation of the 2-1 design to the New Zealand context, the implementation of a robust communication and engagement strategy for innovative research, and baseline data collection to better inform countermeasures.]]></description>

      <title>SIGN ADVISORY SYSTEM FOR LOW-VOLUME ROADS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/359020</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Development of a prototype expert system for signing low-volume roads is described.  The system consists of the following four modules:  (a) basic sign training and overview, (b) determining the need for signs, (c) determining the size of guide signs, and (d) sign placement. The system is intended to be used as a training tool for personnel with limited traffic control device design or placement experience.  It is also intended to be used as one resource to aid in the selection, procurement, placement, and installation of appropriate road traffic control devices.  The system was evaluated by the Forest Service field units with favorable response.  It was also felt that the system may be useful to other federal and county agencies.  Therefore, the system was submitted and subsequently approved as a Coordinated Federal Lands Highways Technology Improving Program (CTIP) project.  The Forest Service is currently working with the CTIP agencies and National Association of County Engineers in the system development effort.]]></description>
