THE JERICHO TURNPIKE LIGHTING STUDY

STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED AT TWO LOCATIONS TO EVALUATE CHANGES IN DRIVER BEHAVIOR AND ACCIDENTS RELATED TO A HIGHWAY LIGHTING INSTALLATION. THE "BEFORE-AFTER" COMPARISON TECHNIQUE WAS USED. DUE TO THE RESTRICTIVE NATURE OF THE FIELD STUDIES AND LACK OF AN ACCIDENT PROBLEM, NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE DETERMINED AFTER THE INSTALLATION. THE RESULTS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO EVALUATE OR PREDICT THE EFFECTS OF OTHER LIGHTING INSTALLATIONS. /FHWA/
