This Record presents a collection of papers on the above subject prepared for a Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting. Eighteen papers are included here and cover such aspects as the effect of signal timing on traffic flow and accidents at signalized intersections; right-turn-on-red and motorist violations and pedestrians; diamond interchanges; optimal timing; stop sign removal; curve delineation signs; warning signs at signalized intersections; residential intersection control; control warrants for light rail transit; inductive loop traffic detectors; reflectorized sign sheeting; wildlife warning reflectors; railroad crossing surfaces; warning devices at rail-highway crossings and their effectiveness; and the priority ranking system for rail-highway grade crossings.
