The headlight usage of vehicles traveling on an 18-mile section of Interstate highway with a depressed grass median of nearly constant width (46 feet) was recorded by trained drivers operating a vehicle in the outside lane while continuously driving a complete circuit over the study section. The patrol vehicle was operated with high beams until an opposing vehicle came into view. The patrol driver then changed to low beams. Opposing vehicles were classified according to their beam usage when first sighted and again at the moment of relative coincidence. Classification was also made according to weather conditions: clear, cloudy, and precipitation. Of all vehicles observed, 67% were on low beam when first sighted, but this increased to 78% on low beam at the moment of relative coincidence. Five percent fewer vehicles were using low beams when first sighted during the latter half of the study period from midnight to 3:00 a.m. Data gathered during any form of precipitation showed an increase in the use of low beams.
