Download or read book The Effect of Stop Control on Ultra Low Volume Intersection Safety written by Ryan John Tenges and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly regarded that the over-use of traffic control devices desensitizes drivers and leads to disrespect, especially for low volume secondary roads with limited enforcement. The maintenance of traffic signs is also a tort liability concern, exacerbated by unnecessary signs. The Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Traffic Control Devices Handbook provide guidance for the implementation of STOP signs based on expected compliance with right-of-way rules, provision of through traffic flow, context (proximity to other controlled intersections), speed, sight distance, and crash history. The approaches to stop are left to engineering judgment and are usually dependent on traffic volume or functional class/continuity of system. Although presently being considered by the National Committee on Traffic Control Devices, traffic volume is not given as a criterion for implementation in the MUTCD. STOP signs have been installed at many locations for various reasons which no longer meet engineering needs. If in fact the presence of STOP signs does not increase safety, removal should be considered. To date, however, no guidance exists for the removal of STOP signs at two-way stop controlled intersections. The scope of this research is ultra low volume (

Download or read book Analysis of Rural Intersection Accidents Caused by Stop Sign Violation and Failure to Yield the Right-of-way written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this study were to (1) identify the factors that contribute to accidents caused by failure to stop and failure to yield the right-of-way at rural two-way stop-controlled intersections on the state highway system, and (2) determine what traffic control devices or other measures could be effective in reducing the frequency of these accidents. The results of this study (and previous studies) suggest that disregard for Stop signs and other traffic control devices is not the primary cause of accidents at rural two-way stop-controlled intersections. The majority of the accidents appear to be due to drivers who enter the major roadway and do not (or cannot) accelerate quickly enough to avoid being struck by major roadway vehicles.

Book excerpt: It is commonly regarded that the overuse of traffic control devices desensitizes drivers and leads to disrespect, especially for low-volume secondary roads with limited enforcement. The maintenance of traffic signs is also a tort liability concern, exacerbated by unnecessary signs. The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Traffic Control Devices Handbook provide guidance for the implementation of STOP signs based on expected compliance with right-of-way rules, provision of through traffic flow, context (proximity to other controlled intersections), speed, sight distance, and crash history.

Download or read book Mitigating Crashes at High-risk Rural Intersections with Two-way Stop Control written by Eugene Russell and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A previous K-TRAN study of crashes at eight rural intersections of state highways and local roads/streets with two-way stop control (Stokes, et. al. 2000) determined that there was nothing wrong with design, signing or sight distances. The real problem was likely poor judgment by the stopped driver on the minor approach of the speed of an oncoming vehicle and/or safe gap in traffic on the major highway. Since then, several mitigation strategies have been suggested, from studies in other states and some relatively simple and low-cost, e.g., a variable-message display to give the stopped driver the speed of an approaching vehicle. Several other strategies have also been suggested. These other strategies found in literature reviews are reviewed in the following sections of this report. There are also several low-cost techniques used, mostly in foreign countries, to slow drivers on major highways as they enter small towns and villages, e.g., narrowing pavement lines, establishing visual gateways, etc. Lowered speeds would decrease crash severity. This study investigated options and field test one or more of the most promising. It can be concluded that both the solar speed display units and mobile speed trailers used on this study were effective in reducing speeds at the desired points. In regard to the colored pavement sections and the optical speed bars it cannot be concluded that they were effective; however, there were some mixed results and the optical speed bar data analysis on US- 24 in Douglas County near Midland Junction indicated that there is a possibility that they could be effective. Additional studies, and longer term studies, should be conducted.

This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
