Abstract

A study was carried out, to assess the effects of self-activated pavement markers on driver behavior by means of a before and after observations. Observations of traffic movement through a stretch of road between two bends, both before and after internally illuminated pavement markers were conducted. It was found that some of the behaviors such as, high-beam headlight use and brake use were largely unaffected by the presence of the markers. The markers facilitated some reduction in the speed at which vehicles travelled through the installation site and was found to be a favourable finding.
