abstract="The aim of this study was to analyze urban route choice as a conflict between waiting at traffic lights on a main route and additional travel time when using an alternative route. The effect of varying waiting times and time pressure was investigated in a mixed experimental design with 64 participants in a driving simulator. Besides accepting routes with longer distance, one third of participants also chose routes with longer travel times to avoid red light. <br><br>RESULTS can be used for road traffic control to guide drivers to less frequented roads without traffic lights which can improve overall traffic flow.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
