briefing on “Traffic Incident Management,” it is possible that improving driver behaviour can reduce congestion by (1) limiting the amount of time that roadways are disrupted following a crash, (2) reducing the amount of rubbernecking that occurs following a crash and (3) fostering better driving behaviour that
Mar 1, 2021 · Results revealed that rubbernecking can instigate significant queue lengths, congestion durations, and traffic delays. In addition, analysis of 637 incidents revealed that 12% of incidents instigated rubbernecking queues. A logistic regression model was also fitted to the data.

Rubbernecking is a result of a human response to the surroundings, such as freeway signs, scenery, billboard ads, and many other visual “eye-candy”. From a traffic operations standpoint ...
reduce rubbernecking impacts. Traffic data was investigated while congestion delay as well as capacity reduction calculations were performed. This study is the first attempt to evaluate the rubbernecking impact of accidents on traffic in the opposite direction based on archived traffic and accident data.
