  • Abstract:
    The purpose of this document is to provide the guidelines on where an RLC system could be placed to maximize its safety benefits. The target audience of this document includes DDOT engineers and planners, MPD staff, community leaders, and elected officials. DDOT engineers and planners may use the guidelines to assess the needs for an RLC system at an intersection and to determine the traffic engineering requirements associated with implementing such a system. Proper RLC site selection requires experienced engineering judgment. This document will help ensure that the engineers have all of the required data to make sound decisions. MPD staff may use the document to understand the framework for determining the appropriateness of an RLC system. This framework includes factors such as accident patterns, road characteristics, and possible traffic control measures that may remedy the intersection’s safety concerns. This document can assist the MPD in their role as program implementers. Community leaders and elected officials may use this document to understand the planning process that is necessary for maximizing the benefits of RLC systems as a safety tool. An understanding of the RLC planning process will help these agencies to collaborate more effectively to reduce traffic crashes at intersections in the District of Columbia.
