Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of a structurally safe traffic system. The crucial question is how potential errors occurring in traffic can be reduced by revising the lay-out of the road environment. Two considerations play an important role: inherent safety and self-explaining properties. Inherent safety refers to the reduction of potentially dangerous encounters. Traffic systems having self-explaining properties are designed in such a way that they are in line with the expectations of the road users. The in this paper discussed "Self-Explaining Road" (SER) is a traffic environment which elicits safe behaviour simply by its design. (This paper was prepared from a more extensive report (see C 1332))
