Monograph

This collection of 6 papers on the operational effects of geometrics and access management addresses the following topics: operating speed prediction for horizontal curves on rural four-lane highways; assessing curve severity and design consistency; influence of horizontal alignment on operating speed of two-lane rural roads; safety performance evaluation of highway intersections; safety of center two-way left-turn lanes on two-lane roads; and safety impact of access control standards on crossroads near interchanges.
