MTMC PAMPHLET 55-16 VOLUME III--MASTERING TRAFFIC ENGINEERING

MTMC Pamphlet 55-16 presents economical ways to increase roadway capacity and reduce traffic demand through transportation system management (TSM) and basic traffic engineering actions. MTMC Pamphlet 55-16 is divided into three volumes: I-MASTERing Alternative Work Schedules, II-MASTERing Ridesharing, and III-MASTERing Traffic Engineering. To meet the pressing need for ridesharing guidance, Volume II, dated October 1980, was published ahead of the other two volumes. Volume I, which presents work schedules as a means of facilitating ridesharing and reducing traffic congestion, was published in January 1981. Volume III, this volume, has two sections. Section 1 presents ways to clear up common traffic bottlenecks that result in wasted gasoline. Section 2 assists in the planning and design of facilities that will encourage motorists to switch to a more energy-efficient travel mode--the bicycle.
