MACCS has generated a number of important findings. The use of bicycle lights was found to significantly predict lower injury severity resulting from a crash, independent of time of day. Absence of cloudy weather at the time of the crash also predicted lower injury severity. Together, these findings suggest that increased cyclist visibility plays a preeminent role in mitigating the gravity of injury outcomes from bicycle crashes. A plausible explanation is that, in multi user crashes, greater cyclist visibility allows more time for the various collision partners to take evasive action, such as braking or swerving, lessening impact severity.
