Geometric Design and the Effects on Traffic Operations 2007

This collection of 14 papers deals with the subject of geometric design and its effects on traffic operations. Specific topics discussed include the following: the Green Book's adjustment factors for entrance and exit terminals; crossover displaced left-turn and upstream signalized crossover intersections; accident modification factors for rural frontage road segments; predicting benefits of left-turn lanes at unsignalized intersections; evaluation of speed differential; regression model of car speeds and speed deviations in freeway work zones; right-turn deceleration lanes on urban and suburban arterials; lane width and safety on urban and suburban arterials; ramp control signals placement design; turn lane length at signalized intersections; urban freeway on-ramps; and the Green Book's acceleration lengths for entrance terminals.
