DRIVER PERFORMANCE, PASSENGER SAFETY DEVICES, AND THE BICYCLIST

Nine papers address the following topics concerned with driver performance, and safety for car passengers and bicyclists: alcohol-impairment tests for driving-while-intoxicated arrests; the effects of roadway delineation and visibility conditions on driver steering performance; the effectiveness of a Tennessee law and public information campaign on child restraint use; the use and effectiveness of safety belts in Kentucky; the effect of driver characteristics and behavior on automobile fuel economy; a real-world bicyclist performance measure; evaluation of a bicycle bridge in Eugene, Oregon; on-road improvements for bicyclists and moped riders in Baltimore County, Maryland; and an evaluation of techniques for warning of slow-moving vehicles ahead.
