• Abstract:
  "This handbook provides guidelines for timing traffic control signals at intersections that operate in isolation ; or as part of a coordinated signal system. The guidelines are intended to describe best practices, as identified ; through interviews with engineers and technicians, and to identify conditions where alternative practices are ; equally workable. The handbook is intended to make resource investment in signal timing maintenance costeffective ; and signal operation more consistent on an area-wide basis. It is likely to be most useful to ; engineers that desire quick-response methods for maintaining or improving the operation of existing ; signalized intersections. ; The second edition of the handbook includes new material focused on pedestrian safety at signalized ; intersections. One element of the new material is presented as guidelines for determining whether protected ; left-turn operation is appropriate based on consideration of pedestrian-vehicle crashes and vehicle delay. A ; second element is presented as guidelines for determining whether an exclusive pedestrian phase is needed. ; A third element is presented as a new appendix that describes alternative pedestrian treatments that can ; improve pedestrian safety at signalized intersections."
