- W626989391 abstract "Although the majority of road accidents happen in urban areas, 60% of all fatalities occur on rural roads. For this reason the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) established a task force to improve road safety on existing rural roads in Germany by short-term up to medium-term measures. The analysis of severe accidents on rural roads found two main contributing factors: inappropriate speed and unsafe overtaking manoeuvres. For this reason the project focussed on the enforcement of speed limits (short-term measure) and the safeguarding of overtaking manoeuvres by constructing additional passing lanes (medium-term measure). The project group chose ten roads with a high number of severe accidents. Where inappropriate speeds were a main contributing factor for accidents, speed cameras were installed. On the other roads, where unsafe overtaking manoeuvres were a main contributing factor to accident occurrence, short passing lanes were built to make overtaking safer. The research project was based on a before/after comparison of traffic and accident data. After the measures were implemented road users were questioned about their acceptance of the measures. Speed enforcement had a very positive impact on accident frequency and severity. Within 3 years accidents with serious injuries were reduced by 7 to 50 %. To this day the installation of passing lanes has been very successful, too. In a 2 years period head on crashes were reduced to zero. Passing lanes combined with adjacent sections where overtaking is prohibited contribute to higher road safety, advantages in travel time and to a relaxed driving behaviour." @default.
