Designing safer roads to accommodate driver error
The main aims of this study were to assess the respective roles of driver errors in serious casualty road crashes at intersections, and to identify road design features which minimise errors and…
A 50 KM/H DEFAULT URBAN SPEED LIMIT FOR AUSTRALIA?
The National Road Transport Commission commissioned MUARC to prepare an evaluation report assessing the national impacts (costs and benefits) of reducing urban speed limits as part of a proposal to…
THE GENERAL EFFECTIVENESS OF COUNTERMEASURES FOR CRASHES INTO FIXED ROADSIDE OBJECTS
This study aimed to evaluate treatments implemented to address the problem of crashes into fixed roadside objects, in terms of casualty crash occurrence, costs, and economic worth. The results may…

Roadside crash barrier testing
This paper describes a series of car crash tests into Wire-rope, W-beam, Concrete median barriers and Pipe-fence roadside barrier systems. A general description of the car setup, the driver remote…
OLDER ROAD USER CRASHES
TLDR
The number and rates per head of population of casualty crashes amongst elderly road users have been generally decreasing since 1989 although this decline was more apparent for pedestrians than it was for drivers.
The Impact of Lowered Speed Limits in Urban/Metropolitan Areas
The majority of all traffic accidents occur in the urban environment, when there is a more complex traffic environment and a higher predominance of road users that are more susceptible to injury and…
