@pkoonce@NASEMTRB (c) method is trying to raise awareness to the design flags, which unfortunately don’t seem to be evident to many in our profession who do not regularly walk or cycle. Provide quantifiable metrics for a performance-based design process. An added tool, not prescriptive design
@pkoonce@NASEMTRB (b) the context for these intersections is important. The ‘traditional’ form would have 4-6 lanes and dual left turns on arterials carrying 50,000+ AADT. Unarguably there are safer designs, but we can’t pretend those busy arterials don’t exist
@pkoonce@NASEMTRB Great to see that the article is getting you excited @pkoonce 😝 Would love to discuss this in more detail than Twitter allows. A few thoughts here: (a) the method is all about comparing “traditional” and “alternative” designs and including peds and cyclists in thy comparison
What will your commute look like post #COVID19? Please help @kittelson by completing this short two-minute survey. As a Thank you, we are sharing live and interactive results!

With pleasant temperatures during this #TRBAM, take time to don your walking/running shoes and enjoy DC away from all the meetings! Scheduling time outside is one of our top tips for a good conference experience. Read our 4 other tips here:

Time to get reacquainted! For the first time in ~40 years tomorrow, we'll be able to have all members in the same room instead of splitting the day into Streets/Freeways subcommittee tracks. Stop by and say hello 👋🏻
.@bjschroe & Burak Cesme present on a pooled fund study led by @OregonDOT to help estimate capacity impacts of CAVs. The #HighwayCapacityManual will soon have planning level capacity adjustment factors for freeways & arterials based on proportion of CAVs in a traffic flow. #TRBAM
Out now: T4America's policy guide for shared micromobility services like dockless bikes, electric scooters. Coming soon: a deep dive discussion about the Playbook on 1/28. https://t.co/PwthP00JAj
The City of Hilliard, Ohio is reinventing roundabout education. They're condensing preciously complicates brochures to three simple #roundaboutrules: follow the signs, yield to both lanes, yield to pedestrians. #TRBAM
@CITYOFCARMELIN is integrating raised crosswalks into their multi lane roundabout designs. Great to see one of the pedestrian safety and accessibility strategies in @NASEMTRB NCHRP Report 834 completed by @kittelson implemented in practice!
Hurricane Florence knocked out power to traffic signals at major intersections. At #TRBAM, Don Bennett of @CityofWilm and Kittelson's @bjschroe explain how @WilmingtonPD and @WilmNCtraffic worked together to quickly implement temporary roundabouts to safely manage traffic flow.
It's the last day of #TRBAM. Don't miss @bjschroe's presentation on the temporary roundabouts implemented after Hurricane Florence in Wilmington, NC: https://t.co/VT20WqFhpr
Initial pooled fund study on CAV capacity effects shows the variation in freeway capacity with CAV percentage depends on how the CAVs are assumed to operate. Chart shows results using @PTVGroup’s Vissim 11 built-in CAV behavior settings - @bjschroe presenting.
Congrats to the authors of this year’s Best Paper Award, Siavash Shojaat and Justin
