NTL Classification:

NTL-OPERATIONS AND TRAFFIC CONTROLS-Traffic Control Devices ; NTL-OPERATIONS AND TRAFFIC CONTROLS-Traffic Flow ;

Abstract:

Research was undertaken to define an appropriate level of use

of traffic control devices on rural secondary roads that carry very

low traffic volumes. The goal of this research was to improve the

safety and efficiency of travel on the rural secondary road system.

This goal was to be accomplished by providing County Engineers with

guidance concerning the cost-effective use of traffic control devices

on very low volume rural roads. A further objective was to define the

range of traffic volumes on the roads for which the recommendations

would be appropriate.
