abstract="This paper examines the operation of the give-way-to-the-right rule at guiet cross intersections with restricted right sight distances. It focuses upon a decision strategy which many drivers on the major road apparently use to determine their approach speeds at these sites; namely, that drivers take risks by not reducing speed sufficiently to allow for vehicles which might be just out of sight but approaching from the right. Three basic modifications have been proposed for this type of site: a major road priority rule; T-junctions; and a combination of these two changes. Each one is evaluated in relation to the driver decision making and the environment. However, they should be evaluated carefully as counter-measures to such risk taking since understanding of this aspect of human information processing is too limited to offer confident predictions. <p />",
