Human Factors and Safety Impacts of Delineation Countermeasures on Two-Lane Rural Roads

A conventional approach to reducing lane departure crashes is to improve path delineation, in particular on curves. Current treatments on two-lane rural highways include permanent raised pavement markers (PRPMs) and rumble strips. This paper considers the effect of these treatments on driver behaviour and on safety. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E211395.
