Abstract

This paper evaluates the use of central islands and supplementary signposting at a minor road cross junction in urban conditions, referred to as minor intersection sign treatment (MIST). The evaluation was undertaken by comparing the accident histories of six treated locations with grouped accident data for STOP sign controlled intersections within their respective local government area. Analysis of accidents before and after over a ten year period showed a significant reduction in accidents under certain site conditions. Sites with an unclear road hierarchy or with similar traffic volumes on each approach road, poor visibility of the left hand side stop sign and with limited sight distance from the minor road achieved a 50 percent reduction in accidents with MIST.
