Hello, Ryan.
I suggest that you contact the Institution of Lighting Engineers, who have done some work on this:

Ivor,
TRL may have the answer for you, if they can find the page!

In my experience chicanes can contribute to accidents, but overall, far fewer than before.
If only the governments would get on with implementing the GPS version of ISA, new wouldn’t need these things, or humps, or speed cameras … (yes, that’s the sound of grinding axes you hear).
Best wishes,
Andrew
Hello, Ryan.
I have twice tried to reply to you, so this is my last effort!
If you Google (e.g.) – digital billboards jerry wachtel sweden – you’ll find a wealth of info on the topic. Jerry Wachtel has spent many years on it, but it’s very difficult actually to prove what we might instinctively feel.

Dear Margaret,
This may be of interest:

Personally, I think Graduated driver Licensing has more going for it, but our governments do not appear to be interested in it, nor of that other really effective measure …
Dear Andy,
Perhaps the overall effect is articulated here:

I wonder what effect your Cabinet Member seeks to achieve. What exactly is the problem? I live opposite a primary school and the only problems I can see won’t be solved by the installation of weird sculptures.
Perhaps Iver District Council or Buckinghamshire can report on their effect on road safety … although I can’t see how distraction will improve it.
Andrew.
