\section{Conclusion}
In this paper, a highly
detailed, detailed international comparison of roundabout merging
zones zone behaviour is performed
for the purpose of identifying road user behaviour factors that might aiming to explain regional discrepancies in road
safety. The same effects on road safety
between using collision course modeling and surrogate safety measures. Conclusions derived from the
two regions surrogate safety measures of: speed, yielding post-encroahcment time, and time-to-collision are
found to be consistent among each other as well as with observed
consistently across a wide range of measures, reflected discrepancies in
the \glspl{SSM} national historical records of
speed, \gls{YPET}, and \gls{TTC}, and this road safety after controlling for a number of road geometry, land use, traffic composition, weather and climate conditions, temporal effects, and traffic exposure factors. This leaves a latent, unobserved component of
\gls{road_user_behaviour} road user behaviour that might be affected by
local road
culture. use norms. Whether this
culture behaviour is shaped by collective trends in education, enforcement, or design policy, i.e. ``culture'', remains to be seen, but it seems clear that
\gls{road_user_behaviour} road user behaviour is shaped by more than
site-based site-specific effects.
Furthermore, Limited historical accident data was also available at individual sites and would seem to suggest that these
observations effects present at the selected sites are
generally consistent with
both the macroscopic and microscopic \gls{historical_accident_a}. Although a more thorough statistical analysis will be necessary to answer this hypothesis more conclusively, the consistency national historical records of
\glspl{SSM} observations and interpretations, road safety as well as
consistency of these measures the conclusions drawn from the studied surrogate safety measures. However, given the issues with
this localised accident data set, this last observation remains, for the
limited sample time being, inconclusive, prompting further investigation. In general, a more thorough statistical analysis using larger sets of
\glspl{historical_accident_d}, gives validity to the claim that \glspl{surrogate_safety_meth} can localised accident data will be
substituted for \gls{historical_accident_a}. beneficial in further solidifying conclusions drawn from surrogate safety measures.
One
small other limitation of this
study, however, study is
that that, while the sample of Québec
\glspl{roundabout} is roundabouts can be considered to be regionally representative of most of the province of Québec, the
\glspl{roundabout} roundabouts sampled in Sweden were
limited to all located in the
same city of Lund.
However, this This limitation
applies only in the situation where the \gls{road_user_behaviour} differences within Sweden are greater is of greatest concerns when road user behaviour varies \textit{within} regions (such as Sweden) more than
those expected \textit{between} regions (such as between Europe and North
America America) as a whole. In fact, the opposite is assumed.
