About this course
This online engineering PDH course provides key background information on three aspects of signalized intersections: user needs, geometric design, and traffic design and illumination. The intersection forms considered include signalized at-grade intersections and intersections with the potential for grade separation. The course provides a foundation of knowledge of signalized intersections that is useful as a learning tool for entry-level engineers and as a refresher for more experienced engineers.
Topics:
Human factors
Intersection users
Channelization
Horizontal and vertical alignment
Sight distance
Pedestrian facilities
Bicycle facilities
Traffic signal control type and phasing
Vehicle and pedestrian displays
Traffic signal pole layout
Traffic signal controller
Detection devices
Basic signal timing parameters
Signing and pavement marking design
Illumination design
