An Australian report, Speed Reduction Treatments for High-speed Environments, examines the performance of different types of speed-reducing treatments (or combinations of treatments) in high-speed environments. The project also considered how desired speed can be aligned with a safe, anticipated operating speed with the goal of making high-speed roads more self-explanatory. Treatments reviewed included: treatments to support development of road hierarchies, perceptual countermeasures, transverse rumble strips, vehicle activated signs, gateway treatments, wide median centerlines, and sight distance adjustments on intersection approaches.
