The study was undertaken to improve understanding of how to place vehicle detectors at high-speed (at least 35 mph), isolated, traffic-actuated intersections, and how to test and evaluate alternative detector/controller configurations for intersection traffic safety and efficiency. Drivers are often indecisive in approaching such intersections. If a vehicle is being operated at high speed, and a green signal changes to yellow, driver indecision may lead to various types of accidents. Strategies that have been advanced for detector placement to minimize the untimely display of yellow are illustrated and reviewed in this volume. This is the first time that available knowledge on detector placement for such intersections has been systematically integrated within a single publication.
