Engineering Countermeasures to Reducing Unintentional Yellow-light Running Owing to Dilemma Zone

Yellow-light running problem has been recognized as a significant safety problem in China as well as throughout the world. Unintentional yellow-light running can be caused by dilemma zones. By analyzing the drivers behaviours in the dilemma zone, the factors affecting unintentional yellow-light running and engineering countermeasures are put forward, including adjusting speeds approaching the intersection, adaptive signalizing and advance warning signs. In sight of the research, some engineering countermeasures can be used for reducing the phenomenon of yellow-light running.
