Identification of Risk Factors Associated with Fatal Intersection Crashes and Assessment of the In-Service Safety Performance of Signalized Intersections and Roundabouts in Abu Dhabi

Abstract: Several research studies conducted in North America and Europe have consistently shown that converting signalized intersections into roundabouts leads to safety benefits. These studies have led North American and European transportation agencies to convert hundreds of signalized intersections into roundabouts over the last few decades. Meanwhile, the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has replaced many of its long-standing roundabouts with signalized intersections (i.e… Show more

“…In the same context, certain roadway configurations, such as intersections and roundabouts, while offering benefits such as increased capacity, safer traffic flow, enhanced mobility and reduced conflict points and crash rates [ [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] ], they present unique complexities for drivers and further under mobile phone distraction. Engaging in a secondary task (i.e., use of mobile phone) results in visual, cognitive and yet physical impairments that affect appropriate decisions and potentially influence the drivers ability to safely travel through roundabouts [ 19 , 20 ].…”
