Abstract

Guide to Traffic Management Part 10: Transport Control – Types of Devices is concerned with the tools that are required for traffic management and traffic control within a network. It covers the various control devices used to regulate and guide traffic, including signs, traffic signals, pavement markings, delineators, and traffic islands. Other devices and technologies that convey information and guidance to road users while they are active in traffic are also included. Part 10 provides guidance on the design and use of particular traffic control devices that are applied to achieve or implement traffic management and control measures. It provides advice on the functions, suitability and correct use of devices to create a more efficient and safer road traffic environment for all users in permanent or temporary situations. The online version of the Guide is currently being built. Fundamentals of Traffic Management: Online Training These freely available online learning units cover the fundamentals of traffic management. The units cover 22 modules, each includes a video with in-session exercises. The modules related to Guide to Traffic Management Part 10 are: 4-1 Objectives and Principles of Transport Operations 8-2 Managed Motorways – operational Principles, Managed Motorway Toolkit
