Abstract
Urban casualty accidents in the vicinity of traffic control devices (tcds) were analysed according to road user movements (rums), site geometry, time of occurrence and age and sex of driver. At signalised intersections, right against collisions were the most frequent. At 'stop' and 'give way' signs, cross traffic or right near accidents were most frequent, depending on whether the site was a crossroads or a t junction. Vehicle object collisions were very frequent at both types of site. Controlling for amount of travel in the network suggested that cross traffic and vehicle object accidents peaked between 24.00 And 04.00 Hrs, at several times the daytime rate per unit travel (a).
