Abstract

Many traffic safety measures on community roads where they have through traffic problems have been deployed by focusing on the behavior of rat-runners, such as traffic volume and running speed. It is a main purpose of this study to confirm the presence or absence of the significant difference between the speed of `rat-runners' and that of `residents and those involved'. We conducted the number-plate survey simultaneously with the speed measurement in two areas of Tokyo and obtained speed distributions in each of driver attributes, `rat-runners' and `residents and those involved'. The result of comparisons shows that residents and those involved partially tend to drive more slowly than rat-runners, meanwhile, the existence of the residents and those involved who drive at a high speed on the community road is impossible to overlook. This has an important implication for introducing the measures which correct the gap in speed perception of residents and those involved.
