MSU Researchers Explore Solutions to Winter Road Hazards
Originally Published 1 month ago — by The Detroit News
MSU researchers found that flashing LED lights on signs near curves can effectively warn drivers to slow down during winter conditions, potentially reducing crashes and injuries on icy, curved roads in Michigan. The study showed that these lights caused a modest but significant slowdown among drivers, especially the fastest ones, and are considered a useful safety tool alongside other measures like skid-resistant surfaces and reflective signage.
