Have a look at the research undertaken by Shane Turner & co at Beca for New Zealand signalised intersections and roundabouts. This includes the development of crash prediction models that take into account more than just traffic flows, e.g. for roundabouts, sight distance (or lack of) was quite a significant factor for cycle crashes.
A couple of NZ Transport Agency reports (2009) about the work:
- Research Report 389 Cycle Safety: Reducing the Crash Risk - http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/research/reports/389/
- Research Report 386 Roundabout crash prediction models - http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/research/reports/386/ <http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/research/reports/386/>
There's also a good summary of this and other related work in the Aust College of Road Safety Journal: http://acrs.org.au/journals/august-2010-vol-21-no-3/

Subject: Research on Junction Safety
I am looking at junction safety. Does anyone have any academic papers that they recomend on this subject. I'm, loking as roundabouts vs signal controlled junctions vs 4-ways stops and signalised junctions with and without Advanced Stop Lines and how various features and layouts result in different levels of "safety" for all users.
I'm looking for academic papers (or news items) rather than design guides.
