In order to find a rumble strip which both effective in preventing run-off-road collisions and bicycle friendly, eleven prototypes of incised, pressed and proprietary rumble strip configurations were installed at the Caltrans Dynamic Test Facility in West Sacramento, California for testing. The objectives were (1) to collect sound level and vibration data from various test vehicles equipped with recording instruments while being driven over the rumble strips, and (2) to collect subjective driver input on vehicle sound, vibration and vehicle controllability while driving over the same rumble strips and (3) evaluate the installed rumble strip treatments with bicycle and motorcycle rideability.
