Traffic calming measures (TCMs) are implemented in urban areas to reduce vehicles’ speed and, generally speaking, results obtained. However, is still a problem rural roads crossing small villages without bypass and with short-length areas, since drivers do not normally their for that short segment. Hence, various TCM can be installed. It necessary maintain calm area these segments improve road ...

There is growing recognition of the potential for cycling to provide more sustainable and active urban mobility. In Portugal, National Strategy Active Mobility aims at increasing bicycle modal share from current level below 1% 10% by 2030. This paper describes a planning practice method assess design network in Ponte de Lima, small starter Portuguese city, which only has some disconnected cycle...

BACKGROUND Transport is an important determinant of health and there is a well-established association between socio-economic status (SES) and risk of road accidents. Effective traffic calming interventions such as 20 mph zones and limits may therefore improve health and reduce health inequalities. METHODS Systematic review methodology was used to identify systematic reviews of the effects of...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Child pedestrians have been identified as vulnerable road users. Although walking as a means of transport has health and other benefits, it exposes children to the risk of road traffic injuries. This study was conducted to assess the availability of road safety features around government-owned primary schools in Ibadan municipality. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multistage samp...

This paper covers an experimental analysis on capacity estimation for undisciplined intersections/junctions. Rotary intersections are special form of at-grade intersections laid out for the movement of traffic in one direction around a central traffic island. Essentially all the major conflicts at an intersection namely the collision between through and right-turn movements are converted into m...

BACKGROUND "Gefitinib" is a first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitor. More than half of patients receiving gefitinib develop acne-like eruption. Evozac(®) Calming Skin Spray (Evaux Laboratoires, Évaux-les-Bains, France) is made of Évaux thermal spring water and commonly used for the treatment of dermatological toxicities caused by anti-epidermal growth factor ...

Speed bumps, as traffic calming devices, have been extensively used to reduce traffic speed on local streets. This study represents a unique application of experimental design methodology where the effects of some controllable factors in determining the best location for installing speed bumps before stop points (e.g. entry gates, road junctions) were investigated. Through Classical Design of E...

Introduction: Road traffic injuries (RTI) are projected to become the 7th leading cause of mortality worldwide by year 2030. It is that 90% global road injury burden will be borne Low and Middle-Income countries (LMICs), including sub-Saharan Africa. We undertook a systematic literature review assess effectiveness implemented prevention initiatives in Methodology: A English was undertaken per P...

This research examined how environmental attributes near intersections influence the perceived crash risk among school-aged children, which provides information on the potential risks of pedestrian crashes that can guide the development of proactive countermeasures. In a sample of 799 children aged 10-12 years old in Korea, the environmental attributes of intersections perceived as having a hig...
