A New Method to Reduce Broadside Crashes at Signalized Intersections
The goal of this research project is to test the hypothesis that moving stop bars 45-50 feet back from the conflicting lanes of traffic will significantly reduce the number of broadside crashes. Potential benefits include a statewide reduction of broadside crashes as well as new statewide standards for placement of stop bars at signalized intersections.
