The primary objective of this research is to develop intersection capacity parameters that are specific to Louisiana conditions. More specifically, the research aims to estimate the saturation flow rate for selected signalized intersections and analyze critical headway and follow-up headway at stop-controlled intersections.

To address challenges related to teen driver safety, Kentucky adopted a simple graduated driver licensing (GDL) program in 1996 and further expanded it in 2006 by adding an intermediate licensing phase, requirements for supervised practice driving, and instituting restrictions on passenger age. Despite GDL programs having been adopted throughout th
