Monograph

This Transportation Research Record contains 9 papers dealing with the subject of geometric design and the effects on traffic operations. The topics discussed include speeds on curved alignments, U-turns at signalized intersections, design consistency, performance of double crossover intersections and diverging diamond interchanges, speed factors on two-lane rural highways, lane drop intersections, context-based design of streets and highways, arterial interchanges, and U-turns at unsignalized median openings.
