Network Design for Road Safety (Stereotypes for Cross-sections and Intersections): User Guide
This user guide provides guidance to road managers, planners and designers on achieving improved safety outcomes by applying consistent standards along a road corridor. Thirteen road stereotype tables were identified covering the road network from…
Road Cross-section Design for Road Stereotypes (including Network Safety Plans) and a Safe System
This report summarises activities undertaken to produce guidance on road cross-section design for road stereotypes during stage 1 and 2 of this project. The guidance enables road managers, planners and designers to achieve improved safety outcomes…
Rollover Crashes: Road Design Risk Factors and Infrastructure Solutions
Rollover crashes are an undesirable outcome in a substantial proportion of casualty crashes on high-speed roads. Rollovers are especially over-represented in run-off-road crashes due to their direct interaction with the roadside geometry. This…
Further aspects of the relationship between geometric features and crashes
This project had its origins in an earlier project which showed that crash rates increased at extremes of horizontal and vertical geometry, and were lowest with narrow sealed shoulders. This paper reports an investigation based on the original…
Relationship between Crash Risk and Geometric Characteristics of Rural Highways
This paper reports a study which brings together information on road geometry (curvature and grade), cross-section, traffic flow and crashes. It allows the influence of these other factors on road crashes to be assessed in ways not possible before.…
