Design and Location of Traffic Control Devices
1. Timing: Provide information at a steady rate Spread out lower priority information
2. Primacy: Place sufficient target value on more urgent devices Example: Flashing light on warning sign
3. Expectancy: Drivers respond more correctly to expected situations Give advance notice of an unexpected situation
4. Redundancy: Provide critical information in more than one way Pavement markings supplement signs

MUTCD DEFINITIONS 1A-13(Shall)
Standard—a statement of required, mandatory, or specifically prohibitive practice regarding a traffic control device.
The verb “shall” is typically used. Standard statements shall not be modified or
compromised based on engineering judgment or engineering study.
![Page 16: JCE 4600 Transportation Engineering€¦ · MUTCD DEFINITIONS 1A-13 (Shall) Standard—a statement of required, mandatory, or specifically prohibitive practice regarding a traffic](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022063023/60005da738cfe02220279b72/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MUTCD DEFINITIONS (Should)
Guidance—a statement of recommended, but not mandatory, practice in typical situations, with deviations allowed if engineering judgment or engineering study indicates the deviation to be appropriate.
The verb “should” is typically used.

MUTCD DEFINITIONS (May)
Option—a statement of practice that is a permissive condition and carries no requirement or recommendation. Option statements sometime contain allowable modifications to a Standard or Guidance statement.
The verb “may” is typically used.

9 Principles of Channelization Discourage or prohibit undesirable or wrong-way
movements Clearly define desirable vehicle paths Encourage desirable and safe vehicle speeds Separate points of conflict Traffic streams should cross at near-right angles and
merge at flat angles. Facilitate the movement of high priority traffic flows. Facilitate the traffic control scheme. Accommodate decelerating, slow, or stopped vehicles
outside higher-speed through traffic lanes. Provide safe refuge ( e.g., pedestrians and handicapped)

What is Access Management?
“Access Management is the process that provides access to land development while simultaneously preserving the flow of traffic on the surrounding road system in terms of safety, capacity, and speed.”
(Federal Highway Administration)
Access Management seeks to limit and consolidate access along major roadways, while promoting a supporting street system and unified access and circulation systems for development. The result is a roadway that functions safely and efficiently for its useful life, and a more attractive corridor.
(Transportation Research Board)

Traffic Calming

Traffic Calming Tools Available
Vertical Deflections, Horizontal Shifts,and Roadway Narrowings are intended to reduce speed and enhance the street environment for non-motorists
Closures (diagonal diverters, half closures, full closures, and median barriers) are intended toreduce cut-through traffic by obstructing traffic movements.
![Page 82: JCE 4600 Transportation Engineering€¦ · MUTCD DEFINITIONS 1A-13 (Shall) Standard—a statement of required, mandatory, or specifically prohibitive practice regarding a traffic](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022063023/60005da738cfe02220279b72/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Potential Impacts:• can impact parking and driveway access • reduces pedestrian crossing width and
increases visibility of pedestrian • speeds reduced on average by 4% for two-
lane chokers and 14% for one lane chokers • bicyclists prefer not to have the travelway
narrowed into path of motor vehiclesEmergency Response Issues: • preferred traffic calming device by many
emergency response agencies
Chokers and Neck Downs

Raised Intersections
Potential Impacts: • reduction in through movement speeds at
intersection • reduction in midblock speeds typically less
than 10% • access not effected• entire intersection more pedestrian-friendly • no data available on safety impactsEmergency Response Issues: • slows emergency vehicles to approximately 15
mph

Full and Partial Closures
Potential Impacts: • concern over effects on emergency
response, street network connectivity, and parallel local streets that carry diverted traffic
• may divert significant traffic volumes • no significant effect on vehicle speeds
beyond the full street closureEmergency Response Issues: • can be designed to allow emergency
vehicle access

MUTCD Homework – Due next class1. Using the 2009 MUTCD, create a design to provide drivers with advanced warning about an isolated signal on rural 2-lane road with moderate ADT and 55 miles per hour posted speed limit. Specifically address:
What signage/markings should be used? (give the MUTCD “code” and show a picture). If you use any signs,
How large should they be? How far should they be placed upstream of the traffic signal? Where should it be mounted in relationship to the driving lanes?
Are there any other special considerations that should be taken into account Provide references (page numbers, table numbers, etc) for all of your work.
2. Provide a typical traffic control scheme for a Lane Closure on a Minor Street. Base your drawing on the MUTCD.
3. What special considerations should be taken into account when installing traffic calming measures such as partial closures and diverters?
4. Under what conditions are Diverging Diamond Interchanges best suited?
5. When used appropriately, list 5 reasons that roundabouts can improve intersection safety.
