Abstract

The efficiency and safety of the road transportation system depend to a considerable extent on the road users' compliance to traffic rules and regulations. Unfortunately, in most countries road users tend to violate these rules and regulations on a massive scale, which results in unnecessary congestion, fuel consumption and accident occurrence. Due to the lack of necessary empirical data, this effect has never been quantified on an aggregate level, but examples drawn from isolated studies provide a clear indication that the accumulated effects must be tremendous.
