Lanes for through movements that begin upstream of a signalized intersection and end downstream of the intersection—auxiliary through lanes (ATLs)—are recognized as a moderate-cost approach to increase intersection and overall corridor capacity. NCHRP Report 707 provides guidelines to use for jus
This report documents and presents the results of research to develop design guidance for channelized right-turn lanes. Observational field studies were conducted at 35 intersection approaches in cities to assess pedestrian crossing behavior, motorist yield behavior, and the interaction between p
The SHRP2 L10 project is intended “to examine existing studies using video cameras and other onboard devices to collect data and determine the potential for using these data to explore how to modify driver behavior in an attempt to reduce non-recurring congestion.” It was found that the majority
This document is a Master’s Thesis developed for an Urban Planning and Policy program. It makes recommendations for implementing a severe weather planning process for transit agencies. To start, it reviews weather impacts on surface transportation and potential impacts of climate change. Severe w
The objective of this research was to develop measures to gauge the performance of the U.S. freight system. It recommends the creation of a Freight System Report Card with 29 measures, divided among six categories: demand, efficiency, system condition, environmental impacts, safety, and adequacy
