TitleRJAWS Lite: A Low-cost, Technology-based Intersection Safety Treatment
AuthorsStokes CS, Mongiardini M
Year2022
TypeUnknown
AbstractCrashes at intersections contribute a substantial number of fatal and serious injuries in Australia. 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.
