This project sought to understand the effects of warning flashers on the safety of rural intersections. Researchers conducted four separate studies: a literature review; an opinion survey of a sample of Minnesota motorists who lived outside urban areas; an analysis of accident data for rural intersections comparing accident rates three years before and three years the installation of various configurations of warning flashers; and a field study at the intersection of U.S. 14 with MN 52 in Eyota, Minn. This last study included a baseline period, followed by a phased implementation of various warning flasher configurations, with a week or so between phases.
