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.
