Abstract
The AUSTROADS Guide to Traffic Engineering Practice provides a comprehensive
coverage of traffic surveys, analysis, layout, design, traffic management,
and road safety standards and practices in Australia. To date, 15 parts of
the guide have been published. Part 7 - Traffic Signals (2003) is a major
revision of the 1993 publication. It incorporates the latest practice in the
safe and efficient design of traffic signal installations. Part 7 presents
detailed information and provides guidelines on collection of design data,
geometric elements, signal system and components, signal face layouts and
display sequences, signal phasing, location of signal equipment, traffic
detection, signal controllers, pavement markings, signs, electrical design,
coordination of traffic signals, installation checks and maintenance, and
special applications including advance warning signals, emergency vehicle
facilities, public transport priority, bicycle facilities, roundabout
metering signals, ramp metering signals, special intersection treatments,
overhead lane-control signals, single-lane operation and portable signals,
left turn on red, and metering signals at sign-controlled intersections.
Appendices provide detailed discussions on human factors and vehicular
traffic characteristics relevant to traffic signal control, provide
guidelines for determining signal timings, and give a complete worked
example. A glossary of terms is included.
