Abstract:

The three papers that comprise this circular were presented at the Sixty-First Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in January 1982. They document the pervasiveness of motorists' needs for information about travel-related services and facilities, and the extent to which existing or planned travel information systems are responding to these needs. Taken together, these papers suggest measures that can be taken to bring the level of information services into closer parity with the service levels achieved for the safety, economy and convenience of the highway system. In this series of papers, Woodrow Rankin views motorist information in terms of its traffic engineering aspects and history. Dr. Ross Netherton evaluates motorist information needs, and reviews the policy that is reflected in Federal-aid highway law to assure the adequacy of motorist information systems and the options for implementing that policy. Edward Kussy considers these options in terms of the constitutional and other legal protection of the freedom of speech as they have most recently been applied to the regulation of billboards and solicitation of funds in highway safety rest areas.
