TRAFFIC ORGANISATION PROBLEMS AT NON-SIGNALISED INTERSECTIONS – CASE STUDIES OF VISIBILITY DISTANCE AND ‘GIVE WAY’ AND ‘STOP’ ROAD SIGNS

Abstract

The paper analyses traffic organisation at non-signalised intersections. In such locations, the use of correct road signs is crucial. Traffic engineers should consider a balance between traffic fluency and safety. Sometimes, limited visibility necessitates the use of a ‘stop’ sign. The paper includes case studies for selected intersections in the Silesia Province, Poland.
