The purpose of this activity is to provide you with the opportunity to learn how the
Traffic Signal Timing
Manual
addresses basic operational principles of traffic flow at signalized intersections.
•
Compare and contrast the traffic flow representations used in the
Traffic Signal Timing Manual
with
those that you studied in the activities in this chapter
•

Prepare a document that includes
•
Answers to the Critical Thinking Questions
•
Completed Concept Map
Read the section of the
Traffic Signal Timing Manual
that covers the basic principles of traffic flow as
assigned by your instructor.
When you have completed the reading, prepare answers to the following questions:
1. Describe how the
Traffic Signal Timing Manual
represents traffic flow arriving at and departing
from a signalized intersection.
2. Contrast these representations with those that you studied in the activities of this chapter. Identify
the differences in these representations.
