The 17 papers in the report deal with the following areas: effects of chevrons, post-mounted delineators, and raised pavement markers on driver behavior at roadway curves; identification of needed traffic control device research; evaluation of wide edgelines; weight-specific highway sign effects on heavy trucks; regional differences in preferences for median crossing signing; effects of reduced speed limits in rapidly developing urban fringe areas; traffic operations of basic traffic-actuated control systems at diamond interchanges; conversion from permissive to exclusive/permissive left-turn phasing: a before-and-after evaluation; operational analysis of exclusive left-turn lanes with protected/permitted phasing; utilization and timing of signal change interval; a behavioral approach to risk estimation of rear-end collisions at signalized intersections; EVIPAS: a computer model for the optimal design of a vehicle-actuated traffic signal; the effectiveness of railroad constant warning time systems; accident causation analysis at railroad crossings protected by gates; how to estimate the safety of rail-highway grade crossings and the safety effects of warning devices; analysis of railroad-highway crossing active advance warning devices; a comparison of formulae for predicting rail-highway crossing hazards.
