On-site investigations were made of interchanges in Virginia, some of which had been the site of wrong-way entries and some of which had not, and of intersections that had experienced wrong-way incidents. From the observations made on-site it has been concluded that poor visibility at intersections due to road geometrics and incomplete or improper

This is a continuation of an earlier report in which the MICNOISE computer program for the prediction of highway noise was evaluated. The outputs of the MICNOISE program are the L50 and LI0 sound pressure levels, i.e., those levels experienced 50% and 10% of the time. In the earlier report, it was noted that there were difficulties when truck volum
