Description

<p>In urban areas, many people drive into narrow roads without signal lights to avoid congestion on arterial roads. This is, however, a great danger to the residents as well as pedestrians and cyclists. To solve this "rat-run" problem, it is indispensable to develop the consciousness of rat-runners.</p><p>To this end, we consider providing factual examples that the disadvantages of taking rat-tun outweigh the disadvantages. This study is based on Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, While verifying the effect of shortening the required time by rat-running, it also analyzed the driving characteristics of vehicles taking rat-run. As a result, due to the waiting time when merging to the main road and the influence of the signal system control, the effect of shortening the time when taking a rat-run becomes smaller. Besides, while taking rat-run frequently, vehicle speed tends to increase significantly when there is more congestion.</p>
