At Safe System Solutions, we’re proud to have led the Austroads project that developed a series of fact sheets to support regional road safety. This one focuses on Vehicle Activated Signs which are an effective tool to enhance safety at priority-controlled intersections and curves by reducing speeds when it matters most.
These systems are especially impactful on roads with speed limits of 80 km/h or more. By alerting drivers to adjust their speed based on real-time conditions, they help prevent serious crashes involving passenger vehicles, motorcyclists, and heavy vehicles.
Key takeaways:
- Ideal for intersections with simpler layouts and higher speed limits.
- Can target specific road user behaviours, such as speeding or turning vehicles.
- Cost-effective solutions, typically under $0.1M per site.
