Capital Beltway Update: Beltway User Focus Group (Report)

This report summarizes the results of the third in a series of focus groups conducted to determine motorists' perceptions of safety on the Capital Beltway. Previous focus groups were completed in 1994 and 1995, to measure public reaction to public service announcements discouraging aggressive driving on the Beltway. This third set of focus groups helped to assess drivers' perceptions of Beltway problems and recent improvements, as well as their awareness of the "Smooth Operator" enforcement initiative. Focus group participants included passenger vehicle drivers, aggressive drivers and commercial truck drivers. Black and white, 8.5" x 11", 76 pages.
