Paper, 2007Description: 8 sSubject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI 2008.0009Location: Abstract: Analysis of crash data indicates that high speed, village activities, heavy traffic and mixed traffic are major reasons for road crashes on highways in plain areas in China. Most hazardous places are at-grade intersections and through-village segments, concluding from statistics of crash data. HSEP in plain areas specifically focuses on these two types of hazards with engineering measures. Engineering measures in at-grade intersections include guarantee of right of road, speed management, visibility improvement and channelization; Engineering measures in through-village segments include sign guidance, speed management and division facilities. Evaluation of demonstration projects is also putting forward.| Cover image | Item type | Current library | Home library | Collection | Shelving location | Call number | Materials specified | Vol info | URL | Copy number | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | Item hold queue priority | Course reserves | |
