Abstract

In order to decrease the traffic accidents on long-even-straight-line road on highland, taking the section of the national highway 213 from Langmusi to Chuanzhusi as an example, the influencing factors on driving safety on this kind of highway were studied. It was found that the main reasons causing the accidents are the monotonous scenery along the highway, the plateau reaction of drivers, the lack of accurate judgment for speed of driver, and the disturbance of animals crossing from one side of the highway to another side. It is believed that the reasonable design of landscape, the settlement of noisy belt on the shoulder of the highway. The installation of slowdown stripe on the surface of highway, and the construction of corridors under the highway at appropriate location can reduce the accidents remarkably.
