Author Description

Excerpt from Traffic Engineering Handbook The first edition of the Traffic Engineering Handbook was published jointly in 1941 by the Institute of Traffic Engineers and the National Conservation Bureau, the latter now known as the Accident Prevention Department of the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies. This revision of the Handbook is again the result of the joint efforts of the two organizations. Feeling that it should cooperate fully in the preparation of this revised edition as an integral part of its traffic control improvement program, the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies has again been happy to underwrite, and handle, the mechanics of production of this volume as evidence of its support of the Institute of Traffic Engineers and of sound traffic engineering principles as a means of bettering traffic conditions.
