Download or read book School Zone Speed Limits SZSLs written by Chelsea Moore-Ritchie and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minnesota statute provides for a wide range of school zone speed limits (SZSLs) from which local authorities may select. This Transportation Research Synthesis summarizes the current research regarding setting SZSLs, effective methods and procedures for setting school zone speed limits and known spillover or other unintended consequences for setting improper school zone speed limits to provide guidance on SZSL best practices. The majority of states use a statute to define a SZSL, with over half of these states having a statutory SZSL set at 15, 20 or 25 mph. Many allow jurisdictions to lower SZSLs further based on an engineering and traffic study. Minnesota statute allows for a larger range than any other state. Based on available research, SZSLs consistently reduce mean and 85th percentile speeds, however the extent of the reductions and statistical significance varies. In many cases, a SZSL resulted in lower compliance with speed limits, however, lower overall speeds and tightening and leftward shift of speed distributions indicate overall safety benefits. Crash histories through school zones overwhelmingly found reductions in crashes, in particular, reductions in fatal and serious injury crashes involving vulnerable roadway users. The speed differential between the approach speed limit and the SZSL has an impact on compliance and safety, with a recommended differential of 5 to 10 mph and speed buffer zones on high-speed roadways. The layering of additional countermeasures such as flashing beacons and geometric changes to the roadway are recommended as best practices to achieve lower speeds in school zones. No unintended consequences on vehicle speeds nor user safety were identified.

Download or read book Strong Towns written by Charles L. Marohn, Jr. and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the results of the work performed under the project Study of Optimal Travel Speed Limits for Shared Traffic. The objectives of the research were to determine if a 25-mph speed limit addresses safety needs of bicyclists and pedestrians sharing roadway with vehicles, to recommend a method to assess and set speed limits for shared use of public right of way by motor vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic, and to recommend optimum speed limits for shared use bicycle/motor vehicle traffic in terms of different perspectives for low volumes, low speeds, and road geometry.

Download or read book Advances in Human Factors of Transportation written by Neville Stanton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the latest advances in research and development, design, operation and analysis of transportation systems and their complementary infrastructures. It reports on both theories and case studies on road and rail, aviation and maritime transportation. Further, it covers a wealth of topics, from accident analysis, vehicle intelligent control, and human-error and safety issues to next-generation transportation systems, model-based design methods, simulation and training techniques, and many more. A special emphasis is placed on smart technologies and automation in transport, and on the user-centered, ergonomic and sustainable design of transport systems. The book, which is based on the AHFE 2019 International Conference on Human Factors in Transportation, held on July 24-28, 2019, in Washington D.C., USA, mainly addresses the needs of transportation system designers, industrial designers, human–computer interaction researchers, civil and control engineers, as well as vehicle system engineers. Moreover, it represents a timely source of information for transportation policy-makers and social scientists whose work involves traffic safety, management, and sustainability issues in transport.
