| Abstract | Prior to any promulgation by NHTSA of four model traffic regulations for rural pedestrian safety it was the objective of this study to assess, where feasible, the potential effectiveness of these regulations to prevent pedestrian accidents. The model regulations/legislative packages developed under a previous contract (DOT-HS-7-01753) were entitled: Model Regulation for School Bus Pedestrians; Model Regulation for Pedestrians on Highways; Model Freeway Walking Restrictions Regulation; and Model Vehicle Hazard Warning Lights Regulation. After extensive analysis only the Model Regulation for School Bus Pedestrians was deemed feasible for testing and further development. The results of studies conducted on school bus driver experiences and school bus passing violations to assess the potential effectiveness of various aspects of this regulation are described. A revised model school bus regulation, incorporating the results of the tests conducted, along with concepts for public information and education to support statutory enactment and compliance with the model are presented. While the revised Model Regulation for School Bus Pedestrians is the principal product of this study many of its provisions may be implemented without the need for a regulatory format. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
