Influence of deficiencies in traffic control devices in crashes on two-lane rural roads López, Griselda Oña López, Juan José De Garach Morcillo, Laura Baena, Leticia One of the main objectives of all public administrations is reducing traffic crashes. To this end, Road Safety Inspections (RSI) stand out as a key measure. Signaling roads is one of the foremost tasks of RSI. A road that is improperly or poorly signaled can lead to incorrect placement or maneuvers of vehicles and ambiguous situations that can increase the risk of crashes. This paper analyses the relationship between road crashes in two-lane rural highways and certain deficiencies in signaling. The results show that deficiencies such as “incomplete removal of road works markings” or “no guide sign or in incorrect position” are the ones associated with a higher probability of crashes in two-lane rural highways. In view of these results, governmental agencies should verify that the original conditions of a highway are re-established after any construction work is completed. They should also continuously follow up on the signaling of this type of highway in order to maintain optimal conditions. 2024-02-02T10:04:58Z 2024-02-02T10:04:58Z 2016 journal article Griselda Lopez, Juan de Oña, Laura Garach & Leticia Baena (2016) Influence of deficiencies in traffic control devices in crashes on two-lane rural roads.
