Impact of visibility on traffic Incidents at signalized intersections –a case study in Polish cities
Archives of TransportIn urban agglomerations, signalized intersections are common. However, in traffic management, safety-focused strategies are often sacrificed for traffic efficiency by allowing simultaneous multiple conflicting movements.

Determination of Sight Distance Requirements for Finnish Level Crossings [PDF]
The Open Transportation Journal, 2011 Safety at level crossings is a major concern for Finnish railways. Less than a quarter of all 4,061 level crossings are equipped with active warning devices, mainly barriers but also warning lights and bells. Especially at passive level crossings it is entirely up to the road user to know whether it is safe to cross the railway.

The Sight Distance Issues with Retrofitted Single-Lane HOV Facilities
International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2013 It is well-known that obstruction inside a highway horizontal curve will lead to impaired sight distance. Highway alignment design standards in terms of the minimum horizontal curve radius are specified to allow for adequate stopping sight distance at ...

Reliability-Based Analysis of Sight Distance Modelling for Traffic Safety
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2017 Sight distance is of the utmost importance for traffic safety. The consideration of three-dimensional (3D) available sight distance (ASD) in geometric design has been supported by several researchers.

Eat me if you can: cognitive mechanisms underlying the distance effect.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Proximal objects provide affordances that activate the motor information involved in interacting with the objects. This effect has previously been shown for artifacts but not for natural objects, such as food.
