COURSE DESCRIPTION: The purpose of the UIIG is to assist and guide users through the process of evaluating their unsignalized intersections and identifying opportunities to enhance their safety and operational performance. The contents of the UIIG are presented under two sections—Information and Toolkit.
The Information section provides important background material related to the types, users, common problems and treatments, and general considerations associated with unsignalized intersections. The Toolkit provides a number of resources to assist the user in (1) collecting data on the existing conditions and characteristics of the intersection and (2) identifying potential treatments that may improve the safety and mobility at the intersection.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Identify key components from the Unsignalized Intersection Improvement Guide to enhance the safe operation for all users of unsignalized intersections.
- Explain the use of the guide and its practical and multimodal methods and techniques to aid practitioners
- Understand the application of the guide through case studies of safety issues at unsignalized intersections.
