This
project has provided the NCDOT Traffic Safety Unit with a searchable database
that contains videos of an array of traffic violations and traffic safety
issues that are prevalent and need addressing. The videos recorded for this
study could be effective in training law enforcement and the general public,
changing existing laws, and providing transportation engineers with examples of
problems that may exist in areas like current signal timing strategies or
highway design. Some of the uses of this database include educational purposes
like driver’s education, law enforcement training assistance for enforcement on
urban, suburban, or rural roadways, engineering design adjustments for things
like geometry and signal timing, or even for use by the NCDOT to convey the
importance of potential legislation changes for law makers.
