The Canadian Capacity Guide for Signalized Intersections (CCG) is a publication of the Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers (CITE). [1] It provides a methodology that allows Traffic Engineers to plan, design, and evaluate traffic signal controlled roadway intersections.
RIRO is an important tool of access management, itself an important component of transportation planning.A study applying access management guidelines to the redesign of Missouri Route 763 in Columbia, Missouri [4] illustrates how RIRO, combined with signalized intersections designed to permit U-turns, can accommodate high volumes of traffic with low delay and high safety.
Interstate 69E in Brownsville, Texas passes through an at-grade signalized intersection with University Boulevard, as well as a minor intersection with Courage Street, before passing through the Brownsville – Veterans Port of Entry and crossing the Veterans International Bridge. I-70 uses part of US 30 along a surface road in Breezewood ...
The HCM defines LOS for signalized and unsignalized intersections as a function of the average vehicle control delay. LOS may be calculated per movement or per approach for any intersection configuration, but LOS for the intersection as a whole is only defined for signalized and all-way stop configurations.
Since a dial timer has only one signalized intersection time plan, it can control phases at a signalized intersection in only one way. Many old signalized intersections still use electro-mechanical signal controllers, and signals that are controlled by them are effective in one way grids where it is often possible to coordinate the signals to ...
At signalized intersections, crosswalks may have pedestrian signals which display symbols to mandate when pedestrians may cross the street. State road rules in the United States usually require a driver to yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing a road when the pedestrian crosses at a marked crosswalk or an unmarked crosswalk.

Signal timing is the technique which traffic engineers use to distribute right-of-way at a signalized intersection. The process includes selecting appropriate values for timing, which are implemented in specialized traffic signal controllers.
This removes the choice of timing plan from the capacity results. The ICU can also be used on uncontrolled intersections to determine the capacity utilization if the intersection were to be signalized. The ICU is not intended for operations or signal timing design. The primary output from ICU is similar to the intersection volume to capacity ratio.
