Abstract:

Priority treatments for high-occupancy vehicles (HOV) can introduce new safety problems due to operational or geometric modifications. At the same time, they can reduce the accident potential by improving overall traffic operations. The research focused on five major areas of HOV projects: 1) an examination of the pertinent accident rates, 2) an analysis of causative factors influencing safety, 3) an identification of difficult maneuvers and potential safety problems, 4) the development of recommendations to improve safety, and 5) a review of the legal authority and legal liability issues faced by HOV projects. Twenty-two HOV projects on 16 highway facilities were visited by the research team. These projects encompass virtually every type of preferential treatment strategy currently deployed in the United States on both freeways and arterial facilities. For each HOV project, data on safety, operations and geometries were collected and analyzed. These data and qualitative information can be used to describe the current experience relating to the HOV safety issue.
