Road-edge delineation in rural areas: Effects on driving behaviour

Article Abstract:

Drivers are likely to drift off the road with their right-sid wheels when driving on lower-category Dutch rural roads without delineation. Experiments using two types of road edge delineation were compared with two control roads without lines. It was found that subjects preferred the edge-lined roads to the unlined control road, and edge lines may provide a simple and effective way of providing a more favourable lateral position on rural roads.
