Traffic Safety of Older Drivers in Various Types of Road Intersections

Many different studies have shown that elderly drivers are more frequently involved in specific types of accidents, especially at intersections. This study concentrated on the evaluation of traffic safety of elderly drivers, at various types of intersections, from their own perspective. Various statistical analyses of obtained data were performed. The most important finding was that, with a high degree of probability, the average person of age 60+ years feels more unsafe at double-lane roundabouts than they would at the same intersection if traffic lights were present.
