Abstract
The objective of this paper is to identify risk compensation effect i.e. the tendency of drivers to adjust their behavior in changing conditions of the road environment. For this reason a questionnaire survey was conducted in order to find out whether the effect takes place as a result of changes in the road safety levels and to address any possible connection between aggressive driving and driver behavioral adaptation. The survey was conducted after the beginning of road works in Egnatias’ Street in Thessaloniki. The analysis revealed that males comprise the majority of drivers not to adapt their driving behavior while being the more aggressive at the same time.
