Regional and remote intersections are particularly dangerous for road users, due to high speeds and a widespread lack of safety measures beyond the minimum control and sight distance requirements. The high cost of additional safety treatments means they are often not employed, leaving a gap in road safety at many intersections. The rural junction active warning system (RJAWS) Lite has been developed as a low-cost, technology-driven treatment that will fill a need for evidence-based treatments at lower-volume regional intersections. RJAWS Lite is currently being trialled at six intersections across regional South Australia. Through this trial, we will demonstrate RJAWS Lite as a viable road safety tool that state and local government can employ from their toolbox of road safety treatments. | | Conference Name | 2022 Australasian Road Safety Conference | | Conference Abbreviation | ARSC22 | | Conference Location | Christchurch, New Zealand | | Conference Date | 28-30 September 2022 |
