The study investigated driver preferences for and experiences with shoulder usage. Accident histories were determined for three different types of rural Texas highways - two-lane without paved shoulder roadways., two-lane with paved shoulder roadways and undivided four-lane without paved shoulder roadways. Data were collected on 21.000 vehicles at 18 different sites. Recommendations for more efficiently utilizing and controlling paved shoulder usage are presented.
