RUMBLE STRIPS FOR SAFETY
SOME TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES BECOME SO FAMILIAR THAT THEY DO NOT REGISTER IN A DRIVER'S MIND, WHILE MONOTONOUS ROADS CAN LEAD A DRIVER INTO A SEM-CONSCIOUS STATE. RUMBLE STRIPS CAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BY ALERTING A DRIVER THROUGH AN AUDIBLE NOISE CREATED BY HIS TIRES DRIVING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE AND ALSO BY VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. ACCIDENT DATA BEFORE AND AFTER INSTALLATION IS PRESENTED. /HSL/
