The primary objectives of this project were to determine the parameters affecting the overtaking and passing maneuver on two-lane rural roads, to investigate possible remedial aid systems and devices to facilitate passing maneuvers on two-lane rural roads and to assess the economic feasibility of various alternative remedial aid systems. The study included investigation into the availability of electronic and electromechanical remedial aid systems, their costs, effects on traffic flow--including volume and accidents--and benefit/cost ratios of alternative remedial aids.
