Predictable motorway ramp curves are safer

Motorway safety depends largely on curve geometry and driver behaviour, a relationship that has implications for research and practice. This paper introduces a novel approach to quantifying geometric design consistency, defined as the degree to which drivers’ expectations of curve radii match actual...
