Abstract

The Michigan Department of Transportation installed four-way stop signs at low volume, high speed, rural intersections in an effort to remedy the persistent night-angle accident pattern occuring at these intersections. This article reports the results of a performance comparison study of these installations with the two-way stops they replaced. Factors evaluated include accident experience, motor vehicle operating costs, travel time, fuel consumption, and air quality impacts.
