The effect of road configuration on drivers’ behavior when overtaking cyclists has mainly been investigated in the field by measuring the leeway left by motorists at the time of passing (i.e., lateral clearance) without controlling for the driver’s travel space (i.e., distance between the centerline and the cyclist). The aim of the present driving-simulator study was to determine whether manipulating the configuration of two-lane rural roads in a fixed travel space would affect driver overtaking on tangents. The lane width, shoulder width, and the cyclist’s position were manipulated. Driver overtaking behavior was analyzed by measuring lateral clearance, passing speed, and the frequency of near passes ( |

The lane width, shoulder width, and the cyclist’s position were manipulated. Driver overtaking behavior was analyzed by measuring lateral clearance, passing speed, and the frequency of near passes (<1 m) and centerline encroachments. The results showed that variations in the driver’s travel space brought about by different lane widths and cyclist positions had a significant impact on lateral clearance, highlighting the importance of controlling this factor to gain insight into the influence of road design on overtaking behavior. It was also found that shoulder widening in constant travel-space conditions was ineffective in altering driver-cyclist interactions. Finally, manipulating road configuration in a fixed travel space and pavement width did have an impact on lateral clearance, without affecting the passing speed or the frequency of centerline encroachments. Overall, these findings have implications at the methodological level for future studies on driver-overtaking behavior, and at the applied level for the design of shoulders and the configuration of two-lane rural roads suitable for cycle use.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0925-7535</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1879-1042</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.ssci.2019.104570</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Amsterdam: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Automobile drivers ; Behavioral psychology ; Bicycling ; Configurations ; Cyclist ; Driver behavior ; Driver overtaking ; Drivers ; Driving ability ; Driving simulator ; Engineering Sciences ; Lateral clearance ; Other ; Position measurement ; Road design ; Roads ; Rural roads ; Shoulder ; Tangents ; Traffic accidents & safety ; Travel</subject><ispartof>Safety science, 2020-03, Vol.123, p.104570, Article 104570</ispartof><rights>2019 Elsevier Ltd</rights><rights>Copyright Elsevier BV Mar 2020</rights><rights>Distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c428t-2353c1005ed5a9c3083e9acf2441e32ede3c722eca39b31919ed032b767f6023</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c428t-2353c1005ed5a9c3083e9acf2441e32ede3c722eca39b31919ed032b767f6023</cites><orcidid>0000-0003-0997-4066</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ssci.2019.104570$$EHTML$$P50$$Gelsevier$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,777,781,882,3537,27905,27906,45976</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://hal.science/hal-03613497$$DView record in HAL$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Mecheri, Sami</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Rosey, Florence</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Lobjois, Régis</creatorcontrib><title>Manipulating constraints on driver-cyclist interactions in a fixed travel space: Effects of road configuration on drivers’ overtaking behavior</title><title>Safety science</title><description>•Lane width and cyclist position affected lateral clearance left by drivers.•However, lane width and cyclist position also affected the driver’s travel space.•Controlling the driver’s travel space is crucial when studying overtaking maneuvers.•In a constant travel space, shoulder width did not affect lateral clearance.•In a constant travel space, varying road configuration altered lateral clearance.
