Abstract:

Traffic control devices are a primary means of communicating highway information to road users and play a key role in highway automation. The design, application, and maintenance of traffic control devices are under constant transformation as new technologies, methodologies, and policies are introduced. In addition, vehicle technologies and the roadway infrastructure industry are rapidly evolving, spurred by technology advancements, customer demand, changes in the vehicle fleet, and changes in national and state policies. This project provides the Texas Department of Transportation with a mechanism to conduct high-priority, limited-scope evaluations of issues related to traffic control devices. Research activities conducted and concluded during the 2024 fiscal year that are included in this report are: • Evaluation of driveway assistance devices in lane closures on two-lane, two-way roads. • Compilation of a synthesis of practices to deter pedestrians from crossing freeways. • Assessment of the safety experience at rural intersections with flashing beacons.
