The report describes a study of motorist compliance with standard traffic control devices. This included a comprehensive review of past studies, contacts with traffic, law enforcement, and department of motor vehicles personnel, and an assessment of the viability of other information sources for identifying and quantifying motorist noncompliance. Results indicate that, although noncompliance is not uncommon (e.g., not making a full stop at a STOP sign), the occurrence of conflicts resulting from the noncompliance was insignificant.
