• Abstract:
  The study identified driver information needs on rural two-lane roads along with potential types of problems that could be alleviated through informational treatments. A simple, inexpensive procedure was developed that could be used by state and local jurisdictions to identify information deficiencies on two-lane rural roads. As part of the study, a 5000-mile, 15-state sample of roadway and informational characteristics was acquired using a microcomputer-based instrumented vehicle. The data base provided a means of determining the nature of informational problems and of estimating the magnitude of information deficiencies on the nation's rural two-lane road system. This volume presents the abstracts and a critique of all studies reviewed. Also included is an index showing the pages and author codes for groups of studies involving common geometries, e.g., narrow bridge, horizontal curve, and/or common measures, e.g., accidents. This is volume 4 of a four volume set.
