Abstract:This is a field manual designed for maintenance supervisors and resident
engineers responsible for repair and replacement of traffic control devices on
highways and streets. Standards and practices have not always taken in account
the realities of the performance to be expected from a growing minority in the
United States, the older motorist. After describing some aspects of older
motorist performance in basic terms, sections are presented on signing, signals,
pavement markings and other traffic control provisions. Using the principles of
Positive Guidance pioneered by Alexander and Lunenfeld of the Federal Highway
Administration, suggestions are offered for improving the flow of information
from the highway to the older motorist, which indirectly makes driving easier
for everybody.
