This report will be of interest to personnel in transit agencies that operate light rail transit (LRT); traffic engineers in LRT cities; and planners, traffic engineers and transit personnel in cities planning future LRT systems. It addresses the safety and operating experience of LRT systems operating on shared rights-of-way at speeds generally under 35 mph. Shared rights-of-way refers to LRT operations on, adjacent to, or across city streets; it does not include LRT operations on exclusive or grade-separated right-of-way. The objective of this research is to improve safety for LRT passengers, motorists, and pedestrains by identifying effective traffic control devices, public education techniques, and enforcement techniques. The report will help lay the groundwork for establishing nationwide standards for LRT-related traffic control devices. The report suggests a standard classification system for various LRT alignments, proposes LRT planning guidelines, and proposes standard LRT-related traffic control devices.
