The credibility of speed limits on 80km/h rural roads: The effects of road and person(ality) characteristics

Change detection in urban and rural driving scenes: Effects of target type and safety relevance on change blindness

“…It is also consistent with research on risk perception, which found that participants 542 consistently overlook subtle roadside features that increase the hazardousness of a particular road 543 (Charlton et al, 2014). However, it is seemingly inconsistent with research which that drivers 544 nominate lower safe travel speeds (Goldenbeld and van Schagen, 2007) and reduce their speed by upfor this discrepancy is that research demonstrating effects of roadside foliage compared the complete 547 absence versus presence of trees, whereas in the current study a single tree was added or removed 548 (with other trees remaining), which would be expected to have a lesser effect. 549…”

Additional road markings as an indication of speed limits: Results of a field experiment and a driving simulator study

“…This statement relies on the assumption that the preferred speed on the depicted type of roads lies somewhere between 70 and 90 km/h. Goldenbeld and van Schagen (2007) reported an average preferred speed of 87.9 km/h, with a variation from 71 till 97 km/h, on 27 rural road scenes with a posted speed limit of 80 km/h.…”

Distinction of Road Categories by Road Users

“…Some studies apply another method: respondents had to choose driving speed according to road scene photographs, which were shown them [22], [23], [24]. Similarly to the studies mentioned above, driving speeds were studied by a questionnaire survey [25], [26].…”
