Master reference for traffic engineers and planners.
The Traffic Engineering Handbook consolidates essential terminology, standards, and methods used in roadway design, signal control, signage, and traffic studies. This edition helps readers understand how to plan, analyze, and implement efficient and safe street systems.
- Learn common terms and definitions used across traffic control signals, signage, lighting, and roadway engineering.
- Explore concepts for coordinating signals, determining warrants, and applying actuation and progression planning.
- Review guidelines for measuring traffic, pedestrian movement, and speed, plus how these data inform design choices.
- See how to approach complex intersections, channelization, and non-intersection applications with practical examples.
Ideal for students, engineers, planners, and professionals needing a solid reference on traffic control, design standards, and performance considerations for urban streets.
