Driver error contributes to most road #crashes. Design & traffic operation features contribute to misperceptions, slow reactions, & poor decisions.

Applying psychology, physiology, sociology, biomechanics, & kinesiology to designs can help reduce human error.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teens in the U.S. Current #DriversLicense exams don't strongly predict safe drivers.
