Popis:	The research presented in this paper characterizes the impact of a wet pavement surface and rainy weather conditions on driver perception–reaction time (PRT) at the onset of the yellow indication on the approach to a high-speed signalized intersection. An in-vehicle differential Global Positioning System was used in a controlled field environment. Three hundred eighty-four data records for all drivers who stopped at the onset of the yellow indication were available for analysis. The minimum time to intersection (TTI) ranged from 2.35 s to 5.71 s. Statistical analyses were used to quantify the effects of the TTI, grade (uphill or downhill), gender, and age (
