• Abstract:
  This report presents a guide for designing and operating signalized intersections to serve rush hour traffic demands. Physical design and signalization alternatives are identified, and methods of evaluation are provided. The level of service criteria used in the design guide were selected to expedite the design process. These design criteria are related in subsequent sections of the guide to traffic operational measures which are more descriptive of the quality of traffic flow from the motorists' point of view. The last section of the guide describes procedures for intersection signal timing and evaluation.
