“…A traffic light can be a source of stress, insofar as watching the light generates a cognitive load (Hoyos, 1988) and also creates uncertainty over which the driver has no control (Averill, 1973;Pervin, 1963). Therefore it can be argued that at least for certain drivers the greater number of traffic lights could contribute to a greater driving stress.…”

“…[72] Found similar effects on secondary task performance when they increased workload by increasing the traffic density. [73] Found that drivers took longer to brake for critical events when they were given the task of counting the number of a certain type of pedestrian. [74] notes that high workload can decrease the probability of drivers recognising hazards (and thus accurately perceiving the level of risk in a driving situation), as well as increase the probability of drivers making risky decisions due to time pressure.…”

“…They also have to assimilate a lot of visual information and therefore need to be able to quickly perceive and respond to a potentially dangerous situation (Crundall et al , 2003). A study by Hoyos (1988) identified that stress in driving situations is not just dependent on the demands placed on the driver, but also the duration of these demands. This can be applied to police driving where the duration of the pursuit means that the driver is exposed to a greater amount of hazards and therefore mental workload and potential stress.…”
