abstract="An observational survey was undertaken (1) to determine the extent to which Kansas City, Missouri, drivers use passenger vehicle restraint systems and (2) to suggest certain vehicle/driver/location parameters that appear to affect such usage. A stratified random sample of signalized intersections was selected for the study. Twelve locations were drawn from a list of city intersections that experienced at least 12 accidents in 1 of the past 3 years. Drivers at each of the intersections were unobtrusively observed at each of three time periods--morning rush period, evening rush period, and midday--when stopped for the red light. Results of the survey showed, on the average, that only about 1 out of 14 (7.4 % ) Kansas City drivers used some form of restraint system. Although usage rates varied throughout the city, even the locations with highest usage rates were below reported national averages.<p />",
