Various feedback strategies are proposed to improve the traffic flow. However, most of these works did not take road safety into consideration. In this paper, we studied the impact of four feedback strategies on the probability of rear-end collisions ([Formula: see text]). We proposed a new feedback strategy named Accidents Coefficient Feedback Strategy (ACFS) in which dynamic information can be generated and displayed on a board at the entrance of two-route scenario with intersection to help drivers to choose the appropriate road. This new strategy can greatly improve road safety and make the flow smooth as possible at the same time. Moreover, the impact of the intersection and boundary rates ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) on [Formula: see text] is also studied.

Considering both the high complexity of urban traffic flow systems and the bounded rationality of travelers, providing traffic information to all travelers is an effective method to induce each individual to make a more rational route-choice decision. Within Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) working environment, temporal and spatial evolution processes of traffic flow in urban road networks are closely related to strategies of providing traffic information and contents of information. In view of the day-to-day route-choice situations, this study constructs original updating models of the cognitive travel time of travelers under four conditions, including not providing any route travel time, only providing the most rapid route travel time, only providing the most congested route travel time, and providing all the routes travel times. The disaggregate route-choice approach is adopted for simulation to reveal the relationship between the evolution process of network traffic flow and the strategy of providing traffic information. The simulation shows that providing traffic information to all travelers cannot improve the operational efficiency of road networks. It is noteworthy that an inappropriate information feedback strategy would lead to intense variation in various routes traffic flow. Compared with incomplete information feedback strategies, it is inefficient and superfluous to provide complete traffic information to all travelers.
