EVALUATION OF THE FLASHING RED STROBE SIGNAL
This original study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of the experimental Red Strobe Traffic Signal device in reducing motor vehicle accidents at some signalized intersections. The red strobe signal indication is expected to attract driver attention to the necessary stop condition provided by one or more additional red signal indications. The results of this study are inconclusive as to the effectiveness of this device.
