Spiral markings at signalised roundabouts improve traffic flow but can reduce safety due to poor lane discipline. This paper describes an innovative method of improving lane adherence at signalised spiral-marked roundabouts through the use of intelligent road studs.
To achieve this, a before-and-after case study of a major spiral-marked, traffic signal controlled roundabout on the Edinburgh City Bypass was undertaken. The research revealed a substantial reduction in lane transgression at the roundabout and a corresponding reduction in collision rate.
Since its installation, the success of the scheme has been recognised with six national transport awards.
