Road Users
Name one of three examples of Driver impairments
What are, Driver Distraction, Alcohol and Drugs, and Driver Fatigue
Where the path of vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians could cross, potentially causing a crash.
What is a conflict point?
This process involves changes in street alignment, installation of barriers, and other physical measures to reduce traffic speeds and/or cut-through volumes, in the interest of street safety, livability, and other public purposes.
What is Traffic Calming?
The two basic measures of traffic performance and inverses of each other.
What are Speed and Travel Time
This is the general term for various strategies and programs that result in more efficient use of parking facilities, so fewer spaces are needed to serve motorists’ demands.
What is Parking Demand Management?
This kind of Driver is classified by being 20 years old or younger and often make simple mistakes that can result in crashes.
What is a Novice Driver?
This is assumed to be 1.5 seconds in an urban context, and 2.5 seconds in a rural context because of differences in how regularly drivers are interrupted.
What is Reaction Time?
This traffic calming design is a curb extension or edge island that alternates from one side of the street to the other to form S-shaped curves.
What is a Chicane
This study measures the number of vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, or other mode passing a certain point, such as an intersection, mid-block location, or a designated are on a roadway or multiuse path.
What's the Point Count
This distance that users must walk between parking facilities and destinations is an important parking design factor, especially for ADA parking stalls.
What is walking Distance?
These road users make up about 2% of all crashes annually.
What are Bicyclists?
This allows a driver time to decelerate gradually and wait in a protected area for an opportunity to complete a turn, thereby reducing the severity and duration of conflict between turning vehicles and through traffic.
What is a Turn Lane?
This sign utilizes radar to display, in real time, the driver’s speed along a roadway as compared to the speed limit.
What is a speed feedback sign?
the 10 mile per hour or kilometer per hour band at which the majority of traffic is traveling within. A typical measure of speed uniformity.
What is Pace Speed?
This unpopular form of parking configuration requires cars to be parked two or more deep. With Valet assistance, it might be more effective in the future.
What is Tandem Parking?
The Four pieces of Perception-Reaction Time according to the traffic Wiki
What are Detection, Identification, Decision and Response?
According to Chapter 12 of the ITE Wiki, this is the optimal distance between signalized intersections for maximum roadway efficiency.
What is 1/2 a mile?
Sometimes referred to as a greenway, this alliterative traffic calming term is designed to give priority to pedestrians and cyclists.
What is a bicycle boulevard?
The unused portion of the signal cycle and is an important input in traffic signal timing analysis. The two significant components of this for each signal phase are start-up and clearance.
What is Lost Time?
Determining who will use parking stalls, how frequently the visit the location, how long they will be parked for, etc. are examples of these.
What are User Considerations
This factor, measured in feet, is the primary safety factor in the operation of large trucks.
What is Sight Distance?
Give one of three examples of economic benefits of access management for a business on the corner of a busy street.
What maybe are?
1. Entering the business is perceived to be safer
2. Reductions in delay for shipping and distribution
3. Reductions in travel time increase market reach
Different than a speed bump, this traffic calming device allows the wheels of emergency response vehicles to pass without reduction to speed, while slowing general traffic.
What is a speed lump or speed cushion?
These counts usually encompass a major activity area or a central business district (CBD). Counts are taken within this area or CBD to better understand traffic patterns from origins and destinations to and from these areas.
What is a Cordon Count(named for a line or circle of police officers or solders preventing access to an area)
Parking with this car might be "tough" as it's labeled in the ITE wiki as the 99th percentile of passenger vehicle dimensions.
