This book chronicles the activities of the Alaska Road Commission from its inception in 1905 to its disbanding in 1956, so that Alaska could participate in the Federal Aid Highway Act. Originally part of the War Department and transferred to the US Department of the Interior in 1932, the Federal agency was responsible for the construction of roads

Priority entry ramps have been operational in Dallas and Houston for approximately five years. An evaluation of these installations indicated three of the four sites exhibited positive benefits in terms of delay savings to high-occupancy vehicle patrons authorized to use the priority entry ramp. Significant cost-effectiveness was found to be associ

The obj ective of this study was to fully develop and apply a me thodology tostudy accident causation, uhich was outlined in a previous study . " Causal" factorsare those pre-crash factors, which are statistically related to the accident ratefor specific types of accidents, in specific pre-crash situations. To calculateaccident rates, exposure meas
