"This issue contains 13 papers that are concerned with traffic control devices, visibility, and highway-rail grade crossings. Specific topics discussed include the following: school traffic control devices; speed control at rural intersections; innovation in temporary pedestrian signing; chevrons with full retroreflective signposts on rural horizontal curves; protected-permissive left-turn signal control; reducing speed with converging chevron pavement markings on freeway ramps; rumble strips; pedestrian countdown signals influence on vehicle speed; dynamic emergency vehicle warning sign impact on driver behavior; dilemma zone driver behavior; internally versus externally illuminated on-premise signs; impacts of highway-rail grade crossings on surface mobility; and speed reduction profiles affecting vehicle interactions at level crossings with no trains."--pub. desc.
