The goal is for elements such as lane width, road geometry, pavement or the visual environment to clearly convey the appropriate behavior, helping to prevent accidents. This concept is based on principles of traffic psychology, according to which road users interpret their surroundings to make decisions while driving. When roads display visual characteristics that are consistent and differentiated according to their function, drivers learn to recognize them quickly and adjust their driving appropriately, without the need for explicit regulation. == See also == Naked street Traffic calming == References == - [[Building Construction/Specifications and Detailing]] - [[Building Construction]] - [[Urban and Planning/Housing]] - [[Building Services/Building Performance/Building Envelope]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Cultural and Religious]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 09 - Plumbing Services/Section 4 - Gas Supply]] - [[History and Theory/Temple Architecture]] - [[Urban and Planning/Urban Design Principles]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/Fire Safety Codes]]
