Two pedestrian model regulations previously developed by NHTSA were studied to determine their potential safety benefits. One regulation was concerned with the disabled-vehicle situation and called on motorists to position themselves and their vehicles as safely as possible and to employ conspicuity enhancing devices and materials. This regulation was studied in an experimental field setting in which the operational features of the regulation were examined. The second model regulation studied, involved persons performing road work and called for workers to wear approved fluorescent and retroreflective materials, for standard traffic control devices to be employed, for permits and inspection of road work sites and for drivers to yield to workers and workers to avoid sudden movements into the path of vehicles.
