Abstract

A traffic signal is a substantially different traffic sign compared with other traffic devices. The uniqueness of traffic signals is manifested in their displaying an alternate message and not a constant one. The transition period from one message to another creates a decision problem for drivers. An inappropriate decision might create a risk of a rear- end collision. This article presents a disaggregate behavioral model for drivers'decision when the green light ends.
