Book Description
The objectives of this project were to define the problems older drivers and pedestrians have at intersections, and make recommendations for changes. A literature review, a detailed accident analysis, and eight focus groups were conducted to identify the specific kinds of traffic-control-related problems experienced by older drivers and pedestrians at intersections. Three problem areas were targeted. The Left-Turn Signal Comprehension Study examined the lack of understanding associated with a variety of protected and permitted left-turn signal displays. Older pedestrians frequently indicated that they don't have enough time to cross the street. This complaint is exaggerated by the lack of understanding of the clearance--Flashing DON'T WALK--phase. The Driver Signal Response and Stopping Behavior Study compared the responses of older and younger drivers to amber onset and the braking ability of older and younger drivers.

Book Description
As people age, their physical, visual, & cognitive abilities may decline, making it more difficult for them to drive safely. Older drivers are also more likely to suffer injuries or die in crashes than drivers in other age groups. These safety issues will increase in significance because older adults represent the fastest-growing U.S. population segment. This report examined: (1) what the fed. gov¿t. has done to promote practices to make roads safer for older drivers & the extent to which states have implemented those practices; (2) the extent to which states assess the fitness of older drivers & what support the fed. gov¿t. has provided; & (3) what initiatives selected states have implemented to improve the safety of older drivers. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
