Right-turn accidents

TD 42/95 Geometric Design of Major/Minor Priority junctions Ghost island layouts can reduce right-turn accidents from the major road by up to 70% at three-arm rural T-junctions. [Pg.45]

Traffic signal junctions are more prevalent in urban than in rural situations. Right turning accidents and accidents involving pedestrians are particular safety concerns. [Pg.51]

Right-turn accidents were not reduced by late-start signalling arrangements. [Pg.54]

Right-turn accidents were reduced by early cut-off signalling arrangements in certain circumstances. [Pg.54]

There was no evidence (except for right-turn accidents) that the speed of approaching vehicles influenced accident occurrence. [Pg.55]

Specific type of accident (e.g. head-on, rear-end, sideswipe, right-turning/left-turning, backing, roll-over, other) ... [Pg.312]

Bends, hills and right-turn accesses all lead to slightly increased accident risks. [Pg.41]

Bends, hills, right-turn accesses and obstmctions on the median all lead to a slightly increased accident risk, all else being equal. [Pg.42]

Accidents at strategic single-carriageway junctions are dominated by those that involve a right-turn manoeuvre across the line of moving traffic. [Pg.42]

Sacchi, E., Sayed, T. deLeur, R, 2013. A comparison of collision-based and conflict-based safety evaluations the case of right-turn smart channels. Accident analysis and prevention, 59, pp.260-6. [Pg.1572]

I consider three sources of variation in behavior across societies. First, societies may exhibit different behaviors because for historical reasons they have ended up in different coordination equilibria. In theory, the United Kingdom and the United States could be identical in all respects except that people drive on the left in the first country and on the right in the second, together with features that flow directly from this difference. Differences in metric systems, number systems, and calendars can also generate differences in behavior that need not reflect anything but accidents of history. Second, behavioral differences may be due to different norms and values. I especially emphasize the importance of social norms in explaining cultural variation. Norms, in turn, are backed by... [Pg.245]

The right-hand side is constant in r, so the left-hand side must also be constant in r. Contrariwise, both sides are constant in 3 and (p. In other words, the variables are separated into different terms, a happy accident that we can exploit. We started with one differential equation involving three variables, and ended up with two separate equations, one involving one variable, and one involving two variables. Thus we have reduced the problem (finding solutions to the original equation) to two simpler problems. Of course, this simplification works only if our supposition (that there are solutions of the given form) turns out to be true. [Pg.28]

No uniform standard of compensation of work-related accidents, the majority of enterprises to industrial injury accident compensation has many man-made factors and random factors, generally at a failed to follow State, the amount of compensation is generally low, and the compensation is often not in place in time. Conflicts between employers and employees in turn, affects the social harmony and stabiUty, and become an urgent social problems. Lower compensation amount, the objective is also to make some employers do not pay attention to safety work, or even ignore the occurrence of accidents, further exacerbated by the frequent occurrence of accidents, injuries caught in the vicious cycle, is not conducive to safety. Meanwhile, the workers life, health, safety and other legal rights are not adequately protected. [Pg.1309]

What exactly happened What type of accident was it — rear-end, slow maneuver (right or left turn), backing, rollover ... [Pg.309]

Have your competent person go over their inspection checklist as your employees who use scaffolds observe. This will the need to constantly be alert for things that just don t look right. This preventive maintenance could discover a problem before it turns into an accident. [Pg.804]

The presence of an island on the minor road is associated with increases in all types of accidents, in vehicle-only accidents, in single-vehicle accidents and in accidents involving a vehicle turning right into the minor road. [Pg.45]

Preventive maintenance also involves checking the brake system, including the brake shoes and the air lines to the brakes. Tires should be checked for inadequate inflation, too much wear, and any deterioration that could cause an accident. The steering system must be checked because too much play can cause a driver to be unable to turn the vehicle appropriately. Another important section of the vehicle that must be checked is the trailer coupling connection, which consists of the fifth wheel and adjustable axles. The fifth wheel is where the trailer is connected to the cab, and it must be secure to prevent the trailer from becoming detached. The adjustable axles are important because if they are not locked securely, the trailer can slide right off them and cause a major accident. [Pg.63]
