TRAFFIC REVIEWS FOR OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

AN OPERATIONAL REVIEW IS AN ORGANIZED AND A CONTINUING PROGRAM OF REPETITIVE FIELD OBSERVATIONS AND AND INSPECTIONS OF HIGHWAY FACILITIES AND TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO DETECT INEFFICIENT AND ERRATIC TRAFFIC OPERATIONS WHICH MAY BE CAUSED BY DEFICIENCIES IN GEOMETRIC DESIGN FEATURES, TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, OR OTHER RELATED FACTORS. THE CONCEPT OF SYSTEMATIC OPERATIONAL REVIEWS OR INSPECTIONS RECOGNIZES THE DYNAMIC, EVER-CHANGING CHARACTER OF THE TRAFFIC STREAM ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY SYSTEM. THE APPLICATION OF THIS CONCEPT PROVIDES A MEANS WHEREBY CHANGING CONDITIONS CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND ACCOMMODATED BY MODIFICATIONS IN THE HIGHWAY OR ITS APPURTENANCES. /FHWA/
