Human Factors Guidelines for Road Systems: Collection A: Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, 22, 23, 26

This report contains guidelines that provide human factors principles and findings for consideration by highway designers and traffic engineers. The guidelines allow the non-expert in human factors to more effectively consider the roadway user's capabilities and limitations in the design and operation of highway facilities. The following chapters are included in collection A: (1) Why Have Human Factors Guidelines for Road Systems?; (2) How to Use this Document; (3) Finding Information Like a Road User; (4) Integrating Road User, Highway Design, and Traffic Engineering Needs; (5) Sight Distance Guidelines; (10) Non-Signalized Intersections; (11) Signalized Intersections; (13) Construction and Work Zones; (22) Tutorials; (23) References; and (26) Abbreviations.
