Pg 1-2: Speed Management Toolbox for Rural Communities

The primary objective of this toolbox is to summarize various known traffic-calming treatments and their effectiveness. This toolbox focuses on roadway-based treatments for speed management, particularly for rural communities with transition zones. Education, enforcement, and policy strategies should also be considered, but are not the focus of this toolbox. The research team identified treatments based on their own research, a review of the literature, and discussion with other professionals.

Pg 13-21: Implementing Bicycle Improvements at the Local Level

This implementation manual is intended for local governments who want to make improvements to existing conditions that affect bicycling. Thirteen of the most typical situations or factors that impact bicycle use are considered. For each situation or factor the manual provides (as appropriate) a problem overview, a solution overview, implementation strategies, objectives, resource requirements, subtasks, a schedule, specifications, and references.

Pg 49-82: Pedestrian and Bicyclist Traffic Control Device Evaluation Methods

This report offers traffic engineering practitioners information on how to evaluate roadway traffic control devices used by pedestrians and bicyclists. Though presented in the context of devices meant for pedestrian and bicyclist facilities, the guidance provided can be applied in a more general sense to evaluations of traffic control devices in all settings. The evaluation methods report is designed for practitioners (State transportation departments and county or city engineers and planners) but could also be helpful to traffic safety students and researchers.

Pg 30-40: Pedestrian and Bicyclist Traffic Control Device Evaluation Methods
