RIGHT-TURN-ON-RED AND ACCIDENTS: A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE DATA USED BY ZADOR, MOSHMAN AND MARCUS

The data used by Zador, Moshman and Marcus to estimate the effects of right-turn-on-red on accidents were reanalyzed. In this analysis, the data were less aggregated than Zador et al used. The result was that the increase in right-turn accidents at signalized intersections associated with the introduction of right-turn-on-red was only 14, not 21 per cent as found by Zador et al.
