Book Description
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 required NHTSA to conduct a study of the safety impact of permitting right and left turns on red lights. The report presents a brief summary of the current status of State implementation of laws permitting right and left turns at red lights, a brief review of previous research, and the results of analyses of currently available data assessing the safety impact of permitting right turns on red.

Book Description
"The purpose of this study was to determine current motorist compliance to RTOR regulations, develop and field test countermeasures for RTOR pedestrian accidents, and develop improved warrants and guidelines for prohibition of RTOR. Based on data from several U.S. cities, only 3.7 percent of all right-turning drivers violate no turn on red (NTOR) signs. However, of drivers with an opportunity to turn right on red, 20 percent violated the sign. At locations with RTOR allowed, 56.9 percent of motorists do not come to a complete stop before turning right on red. Based on conflict and violation data, 30 countermeasures were developed as possible treatments for RTOR-pedestrian accidents. Seven of these were field tested, including an offset stop bar, a red ball (symbolic) NTOR sign, a larger 30x36-in (75x90-cm) NTOR sign, a Look For Turning Vehicles pavement marking, a NTOR When Pedestrians Are Present sign, and an electronic variable message (blank-out) NTOR sign. Several promising applications for the devices were recommended. A critique was made of the current MUTCD guidelines on RTOR prohibition. Based on an analysis of conflicts at 199 intersection approaches, improved guidelines were recommended"--Technical report documentation page

Book Description
Get a complete look into modern traffic engineering solutions Traffic Engineering Handbook, Seventh Edition is a newly revised text that builds upon the reputation as the go-to source of essential traffic engineering solutions that this book has maintained for the past 70 years. The updated content reflects changes in key industry standards, and shines a spotlight on the needs of all users, the design of context-sensitive roadways, and the development of more sustainable transportation solutions. Additionally, this resource features a new organizational structure that promotes a more functionally-driven, multimodal approach to planning, designing, and implementing transportation solutions. A branch of civil engineering, traffic engineering concerns the safe and efficient movement of people and goods along roadways. Traffic flow, road geometry, sidewalks, crosswalks, cycle facilities, shared lane markings, traffic signs, traffic lights, and more—all of these elements must be considered when designing public and private sector transportation solutions. Explore the fundamental concepts of traffic engineering as they relate to operation, design, and management Access updated content that reflects changes in key industry-leading resources, such as the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), AASSHTO Policy on Geometric Design, Highway Safety Manual (HSM), and Americans with Disabilities Act Understand the current state of the traffic engineering field Leverage revised information that homes in on the key topics most relevant to traffic engineering in today's world, such as context-sensitive roadways and sustainable transportation solutions Traffic Engineering Handbook, Seventh Edition is an essential text for public and private sector transportation practitioners, transportation decision makers, public officials, and even upper-level undergraduate and graduate students who are studying transportation engineering.
