• Abstract:
  Common complete street traffic signal timing strategies include leading pedestrian intervals, exclusive bicycle and pedestrian phasing, transit and bicycle queue jumps, and more. These countermeasures are utilized to curb pedestrian and bicycle crashes with vehicles; however, they often come at the expense of decreased travel efficiency. Safety and congestion management can sometimes conflict with each other. The objective of this document is to provide TxDOT with a catalogue of commonly used operation strategies including safety benefits and applicability to TxDOT roadways.
