Effect of Roadway Geometrics on Traffic Operations
Traffic operations and traffic safety are influenced by roadway geometry, roadside development, and traffic control devices. The papers include (a) An analysis of accident experience on different roadway types in Kentucky; (b) a study of speeds in a rural zone as affected by several types of traffic control devices, including a dynamic speed violation sign; (c) a discussion of the nature of traffic operations at freeway lane drop locations and a presentation of several design principles that should be considered when such sites are constructed or reconstructed; (d) a survey of current practices in state, county, and city governments and a proposed methodology for dealing with specific cases of sight distance obstruction; (e) an examination of the knowledge about traffic-induced vibration; and (f) a study of accident occurrence for relationships
