Monograph

This issue contains fourteen papers on visibility and work zone traffic control. Specific topics addressed in this issue include the following: precrash driver actions in work zone crashes; traffic control at access points within alternating one-way operations; portable traffic signals at two-lane, two-way rural highway work zones; legibility on negative- and positive-contrast signs; work zone crash cost prediction; and portable end-of-queue warning system deployments. Additional topics addressed in the issue include: variable speed limit upstream of a work zone; impact of advisory signs on vehicle speeds; portable traffic signals in conjunction with pilot car operations; adaptive driving beam highlighting system; road lighting effects on bicycle and pedestrian accident frequency; safety effects on street illuminance at urban signalized intersections; traffic control devices at changes in horizontal alignment; and advance placement of turn and curve warning signs.
