黄灯信号与交通安全

Yellow Traffic Light and Traffic Safety

现有交通法规对车辆遇到黄灯时是否允许通行仍然没有定论,这直接导致了众多驾车人在面对黄灯信号时的反应不一,对道路交通及安全产生了诸多负面影响.通过分析车辆行驶中的人一车系统特性,揭示了交通黄灯信号的重要作用.此外,从两个不同视角对黄灯信号的通行权展开论述,并对黄灯信号合理的持续时间等参数进行了案例设计,由此得出车辆在行驶过程中遇到黄灯可以通行的结论.

Current traffic regulations do not have a definite conclusion on whether motor vehicles are allowed to pass through an intersection when the traffic lights turn yellow. When facing a beaming yellow traffic light, drivers＇ reaction varied, resulting in negative impacts on road safety. This paper analyzes systematic characteristics of moving motorists and motor vehicles, and reveals the importance of the yellow traffic light. The right of passing through a yellow traffic light is examined from two different perspectives. A conclusion is drawn that a vehicle should be allowed to pass through the intersection while the traffic light is yellow. A case study is presented for a reasonable length of time of the yellow traffic light and other relevant parameters.
