INCREASING CITY STREET CAPACITY

The author discusses ways of increasing street capacity in cities. Motor vehicles and population density both impact street capacity and traffic congestion. One source of increased street capacity is the use of traffic signals. Other subject areas presented include traffic lane capacity, crossroads, parking, pedestrians, curves, cross traffic, driveways and lane-width, visibility, grades and speed, speed range, accidents and accident control, weather, vehicles, and trip purpose and familiarity with the route.
