Placement of Detection Loops on High Speed Approaches to Traffic Signals
Record Type: DOT

The primary objective of this project is to determine the best distance to place detectors on the approaches to high-speed signalized intersections through a comprehensive research program of modeling and field testing alternative configurations. This project will also include an itemized list of recommended practices and benefit cost-tradeoffs.
