Risk compensation--the case of road lighting
TL;DR: The results show that drivers do compensate for road lighting in terms of increased speed and reduced concentration, which means that road lighting could have a somewhat larger accident-reducing effect, if compensation could be avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
