• Abstract:
  Rumble strips are designed and deployed to reduce run-off-road and head-on crashes by alerting drivers about near-lane departures. Although they have been widely used, their operational safety effectiveness still needs to be investigated under various operational conditions. Rumble strips may have different widths and be installed on edge, shoulder, center, or in any combination of these locations. To perform a comprehensive analysis of rumble strips’ safety effectiveness on rural two-lanes roads across Indiana, both statistical analysis and field test were performed.
