Abstract

Intensive observations via video recording and analysis were made of driver behaviour on segments of main roads on radial versus cross town axes of the road grid. The roads selected were scheduled for transition to full priority status. It is suggested that the driving population is already aware of the applicable principles of priority allocation, although imperfectly, and somewhat inconsistent in behaviour when assessed by indices of system compliance and confidence.
