This report describes a driving simulator experiment designed to evaluate two sets of alternative low-cost safety improvements for rural areas. The first set of improvements is directed at enhancing the visibility of curves on rural two-lane undivided roads at night. The second set of improvements is directed at slowing traffic on rural two-lane undivided roads in small towns. This report should be of interest to highway engineers, traffic engineers, highway safety specialists, local planners, researchers, and others involved in the design and operation of rural roadways.
