5 out of 5 stars Very Practical   June 21, 2008
John MacAdam (Sunbury, OH)
This book presents things in a practical manner. The examples in the book are incredible and can very easily be related to real life applications.


5 out of 5 stars Probably the best traffic engineering textbook out there   April 13, 2007
Saif Eddin Jabari (Minneapolis, MN)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

From sight distance to freeway flow characteristics to signal coordination for arterials, this is the most comprehensive textbook I've seen on traffic engineering. The topics follow a very logical progression and many examples are given throughout. This book could serve as an excellent textbook for an undergraduate or first-year graduate traffic engineering class in addition to being a must have for practitioners. One way the book could be improved is by including a more thorough presentation of loop detectors, control cabinets, and how actuated signal timing plans actually play out from cycle to cycle, specifically with regards to actuated coordinated signals along arterials. Nonetheless, I still give the book a 5.


4 out of 5 stars Great book that covers almost everything   February 17, 2002

It is a great book, the only drawback is the following: it NOT written in Metric units (a.k.a. International System). I hope that the next edition use metric units.
