INVESTIGATE USES AND TYPES OF RUMBLE STRIPS AND THEIR ADAPTABILITY FOR APPROACHES TO HIGHWAY-RAILWAY GRADE CROSSINGS

THE RESULTS ARE PRESENTED OF DISCUSSIONS WITH TRAFFIC ENGINEERS OF THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH RUMBLE-STRIP INSTALLATIONS ON STATE HIGHWAYS. A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF ACCIDENTS WERE NOTED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AFTER INSTALLATION. THE IMPORTANT FACTORS IN THE APPLICATION OF RUMBLE STRIPS AT RAILWAY-HIGHWAY GRADE CROSSINGS ARE PRIMARILY THEIR DESIGN AND USE. THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE FACTORS ARE EXEMPLIFIED BY INSTALLATIONS IN TENNESSEE AND ILLINOIS.
