Unsignalized Intersection Improvement Guide Now Available From ITE

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), under the sponsorship of the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety, is now hosting the Unsignalized Intersection Improvement Guide (UIIG) through the ITE website. The UIIG is a web-based resource intended to be used online and can be modified as necessary to incorporate new information.

 

The Guide was originally produced under Project No. 03-104 of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program in response to data indicating that more than 70 percent of the 21,000 fatal crashes between 2010 and 2012 occurred at intersections that are not under the control of a traffic signal.

 

ITE and FHWA welcome and encourage feedback with regard to issues encountered in using the UIIG, questions on its contents, and, most importantly, examples of how treatments have been implemented to address intersection problems. Questions and comments can be submitted by selecting the tab at the lower right-hand corner of any UIIG webpage. ITE will be managing a technical advisory committee that will review the UIIG content on a bi-annual basis, and user feedback will be considered during the review process.

 

Take care,

 

Doug
