Abstract: This syllabus serves as an introduction to the field of traffic engineering to professionals who are being assigned traffic engineering tasks for the first time and as a source of recent information for those already in the field. It is designed mainly for one-week short courses, but past editions have also seen increasing use in university engineering courses and for individual study. Traffic engineering is an ever-changing profession. New standards, guidelines, and basic texts rapidly replace older reference volumes. This 16th edition again includes new and revised material needed by students and practicing engineers. We have recognized the growing interest in non-motorized transportation modes by adding a new chapter on Bicycle Characteristics and Facilities and vastly expanding the chapter on Pedestrian Mobility and have also added a chapter on Work Zone Traffic Control. We have invited guest contributors to write these chapters and others to revise other material. On the other hand we have deleted the chapter on Mass Transit Systems, retaining a few items of specific concern to the traffic engineer elsewhere in the syllabus.
