abstract="This paper describes a number of road infrastructure safety treatments applied internationally, evaluated and shown to be highly effective in reducing road trauma. However, their application within Australia and New Zealand has been limited to date. Based on several projects conducted on behalf of Austroads and for individual road agencies, this paper brings together the evidence on road safety effectiveness of these treatments, and makes the case for greater use of each. These treatments include: raised intersection and midblock platforms, wombat (raised pedestrian) crossings, road diet, signalised roundabouts, rest-on-red signals, consistent curve design and treatment, wide centreline treatments, vehicle-activated signs for curves and intersections, and gateway treatments. The paper shows how many of these have been applied successfully on both high-speed rural and lower-speed urban arterial roads.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
