This report provides documentation and presents the results of a study to improve the safety of light rail transit (LRT) in semiexclusive rights-of-way where light rail vehicles operate at speeds greater than 35 mph through crossings with streets and pedestrians pathways. This report also presents the results of field tests conducted to improve the safety of higher speed LRT systems through grade crossing design.

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 672: Roundabouts: An Informational Guide - Second Edition explores the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of roundabouts. The report also addresses issues that may be useful in helping to explain the trade-offs associated with roundabouts. This report updates the U.S. Federal Highway Administration's Roundabouts: An Informational Guide, based on experience gained in the United States since that guide was published in 2000.

"This issue contains 13 papers that are concerned with traffic control devices, visibility, and highway-rail grade crossings. Specific topics discussed include the following: school traffic control devices; speed control at rural intersections; innovation in temporary pedestrian signing; chevrons with full retroreflective signposts on rural horizontal curves; protected-permissive left-turn signal control; reducing speed with converging chevron pavement markings on freeway ramps; rumble strips; pedestrian countdown signals influence on vehicle speed; dynamic emergency vehicle warning sign impact on driver behavior; dilemma zone driver behavior; internally versus externally illuminated on-premise signs; impacts of highway-rail grade crossings on surface mobility; and speed reduction profiles affecting vehicle interactions at level crossings with no trains."--pub. desc.

This Technology Sharing Report sets forth pertinent information on currently available types of grade crossing surfaces as an aid in choosing physically and economically suitable surfaces for individual crossing or groups of crossing to be installed or improved. Trade names and manufacturers' identification are solely for convenience of the user and not endorsements by DOT. Crossing surface products from 22 suppliers and soil stabilization fabrics from 12 manufacturers are discussed.
