Dynamic visual obstruction is the term for when a moving vehicle blocks another vehicle’s sightlines. Motorcyclists are highly susceptible to dynamic visual obstruction crashes due to their small size and their propensity to be masked by other vehicles on the road network.
There are a raft of ways to reduce dynamic visual obstruction risk at intersections, including:
- Altering the intersection form (e.g. roundabout or raised intersection)
- Fully controlling turns
- Slowing vehicles on the approach to the intersection
- Altering lane configuration and layout
- Improving surface skid resistance
