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.

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
Right turn on red (RTOR) maneuvers have been permitted at signalized intersections in Virginia since 1972. However, until January 1, 1977, following a study requested by the General Assembly, the maneuver was restricted to intersections at which a sign was posted to inform the motorist that RTOR was permitted. Under the pre-1977 legislation RTOR was allowed at only 8% of the state's intersection approaches. Under the legislation that became effective in 1977, motorists are allowed to make right turns on red and left turns on red from a one-way street onto a one-way street, unless the maneuvers are specifically prohibited by a sign. The purpose of the investigation reported here was to examine the benefits and problems resulting from the new legislation. The scope of the study included questionnaire surveys of the state's law enforcement and traffic officials; a telephone survey of public opinion; an accident analysis at 18 intersections; and field investigations at 48 sites to examine time and energy savings, operational problems, and driver acceptance of and compliance with the laws. The analysis of the study data revealed that the new legislation was working very well and was being enthusiastically supported by the vast majority of Virginia officials and the public. RTOR was permitted at 84% of the state's signalized intersection approaches and LTOR at 73% of the approaches where one-way streets intersected. Driver utilization of turn on red opportunities was found to be higher than had been reported in other states. Benefits in terms of energy savings during 1977 were estimated to be 3.6 million gallons of fuel for RTOR and 2,370 gallons for LTOR. A statewide surveillance indicated that 75 accidents involving RTOR motorists and 3 crashes related to LTOR had occurred in 1977. The majority of collisions had involved only minor property damage. It was found that to encourage uniform implementation of the new legislation there was a need for traffic officials to review all approaches at which turns on red were being prohibited to determine if the prohibition was necessary based on the standards promulgated by the Federal Highway Administration. Selective enforcement, supplemented with local media publicity, was recommended to encourage drivers to come to a full stop before turning on red. Because the benefits of the legislation far outweighed its disadvantages, no changes in the law were recommended.
