The authors demonstrate how knowledge of human factors helps a road authority to better understand how road users behave. They argue that in many cases the design of the environment can be further adjusted to human capabilities, and that safety should be considered a system property to be built into the road system.Human factors in road and rail transport.Highway planningHighway planningNetherlandsMotor vehicle driversMotor vehicle driversNetherlandsTraffic safetyTraffic safetyNetherlandsRoadsSafety measuresRoadsNetherlandsSafety measuresHighway planning.Highway planningMotor vehicle drivers.Motor vehicle driversTraffic safety.Traffic safetyRoadsSafety measures.RoadsSafety measures.625.7028/9Theeuwes Jan1960-1474694Horst Richard van derOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910779106003321Designing safe road systems3688484UNINA
