Book Description
TRBs Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2056 includes 13 papers that explore glare, pedestrian visibility in crosswalks, pavement marking retroreflectivity, 'stop ahead' pavement markings, red retroreflective raised pavement markings, modern pavement marking systems, nine-panel logo signs, and driver stopping behavior on high-speed signalized intersection approaches. This issue of the TRR also examines treatments at urban signalized intersections, flashing beacons at stop-controlled intersections, dual-advisory speed signing on freeway-to-freeway connectors, experimental transverse-bar pavement marking, and gate rushing at highway-railroad grade crossings.

Book Description
"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 755: Comprehensive Costs of Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Crashes describes a process for estimating the costs of highway-rail grade crossing crashes. A spreadsheet-based tool to facilitate use of the cost estimation process is available online." --Publisher description.

Book Description
This document presents a synthesis of current information and operating practices related to roadside safety and is developed in metric units. The roadside is defined as that area beyond the traveled way (driving lanes) and the shoulder (if any) of the roadway itself. The focus of this guide is on safety treatments that minimize the likelihood of serious injuries when a driver runs off the road. This guide replaces the 1989 AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide."

Book Description
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Book Description
This report provides documentation and presents the results of a study to improve the safety of light rail transit (LRT) in semiexclusive rights-of-way where light rail vehicles operate at speeds greater than 35 mph through crossings with streets and pedestrians pathways. This report also presents the results of field tests conducted to improve the safety of higher speed LRT systems through grade crossing design.

Book Description
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 672: Roundabouts: An Informational Guide - Second Edition explores the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of roundabouts. The report also addresses issues that may be useful in helping to explain the trade-offs associated with roundabouts. This report updates the U.S. Federal Highway Administration's Roundabouts: An Informational Guide, based on experience gained in the United States since that guide was published in 2000.

Book Description
NACTO's Urban Bikeway Design Guide quickly emerged as the preeminent resource for designing safe, protected bikeways in cities across the United States. It has been completely re-designed with an even more accessible layout. The Guide offers updated graphic profiles for all of its bicycle facilities, a subsection on bicycle boulevard planning and design, and a survey of materials used for green color in bikeways. The Guide continues to build upon the fast-changing state of the practice at the local level. It responds to and accelerates innovative street design and practice around the nation.

Book Description
"This issue contains 13 papers that are concerned with traffic control devices, visibility, and highway-rail grade crossings. Specific topics discussed include the following: school traffic control devices; speed control at rural intersections; innovation in temporary pedestrian signing; chevrons with full retroreflective signposts on rural horizontal curves; protected-permissive left-turn signal control; reducing speed with converging chevron pavement markings on freeway ramps; rumble strips; pedestrian countdown signals influence on vehicle speed; dynamic emergency vehicle warning sign impact on driver behavior; dilemma zone driver behavior; internally versus externally illuminated on-premise signs; impacts of highway-rail grade crossings on surface mobility; and speed reduction profiles affecting vehicle interactions at level crossings with no trains."--pub. desc.
