This is a basic reference for practicing transportation and planning professionals. It is especially valuable to engineers and urban planners responsible for the development and administration of local land development codes; consulting engineers, planners and architects who prepare site development plans; developers; loan officers of lending institutions that provide long-term financing; state department of transportation employees involved in the issuance of permits for access to state roadways; and others involved in land development or investment decisions. This edition consists of fourteen chapters compared to eight chapters in the 1988 edition. It provides new and expanded information on such topics as site planning, traffic impact analysis, functional circulation systems, intersection design, driveway location and design, parking lot layout and on-site circulation. The incorporation of pedestrians and bicyclists in a safe and efficient circulation system is addressed. New chapters include the development of small tracts, safety design of residential areas and how to mitigate existing safety and operational problems. Photographs and graphs are used extensively to illustrate access, site circulation and development practices.
