Abstract
Collisions between distinct road users (e.g. drivers and motorcyclists)
make a substantial contribution to the road trauma burden. Although evidence
suggests distinct road users interpret the same road situations differently, it is
not clear how road users? situation awareness differs, nor is it clear which differences
might lead to conflicts. This article presents the findings from an onroad
study which examined driver, cyclist, motorcyclist and pedestrian situation
awareness at intersections. The findings suggest that situation awareness at intersection
is markedly different across the four road user groups studied, and
that some of these differences may create conflicts between the different road
users. The findings also suggest that the causes of the differences identified relate
to road design and road user experience. In closing, the key role of road design
and training in supporting safe interactions between distinct road users is
discussed.
