Progressive Applications of
Technology in Traffic Eng.
Base: Manual control at major intersections, no
controls elsewhere (except through traffic circles
rotaries)
Isolated traffic signal control
Progression along major arterials (fixed control for
all periods)

Cross Sections
Traffic & function of facility => Design of
cross-section
- Dimensions of travel lanes, no of lanes,
shoulder width, median (if any), etc.
- Design level-of-service (LOS)
- Other features -- such as sight distance
restrictions
