Abstract

This article discusses how an increase in the number of drivers aged over 65 will affect highway design and layout. A recent survey by the Automobile Association has examined the problems faced by drivers ages between 55 and 75. Peripheral vision, in particular, is poorer, and elderly people can have difficulty turning their heads. A case is put for improving junction design to cater for the elderly.
