This report analyses data from police reports on crashes, and from an in-depth study of rural crashes, to examine the characteristics of rollover crashes in South Australia. The risk of a single vehicle rollover crash increases markedly at higher travelling speeds and eighty per cent of these crashes in the in-depth study were initiated by the car running at least partially onto the left unsealed shoulder. Road-related countermeasures such as audio-tactile edge lining and sealed shoulders are…Â

Factors affecting injury severity of single-vehicle rollover crashes in the United States
- EngineeringTraffic injury prevention
- 2020
Several proven countermeasures may prevent rollovers or reduce injury severity in single-vehicle crashes where a rollover occurs, including increasing seatbelt use, posting lower speed limits and installing speed enforcement cameras in high-risk areas, flattening roadside embankments, and promoting in-Vehicle stability enhancement systems.
