Transverse Rumble Strips at Rural Intersections

Research is needed to assess the effectiveness of transverse rumble strips and to evaluate whether different designs encourage driver behaviors that may lead to reduced crashes. Design includes placement (location in relation to the stop sign), number of panels (set of grooves), and pattern (i.e., length, number of grooves, distance between grooves).
