Transportation Transportation planning Traffic management Street maintenance

Learning Objectives Understand basic transportation planning Understand rules and regulations covering traffic signs, signals and markings Be familiar with alternative methods of street pavement maintenance Understand the use of a Pavement Management System Emerging issues

Transportation Planning Plan for safe movement of people and goods. Create Transportation element in City’s General or Comprehensive Plan Existing inventory Plan for future (link with zoning) Goals and policies Financing Plan for autos, transit (bus and rail), trucks, taxis, pedestrians, bicycles, etc.

Traffic Engineering Keep people and goods moving safely Regulate traffic and parking Get yelled at by everybody

Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Standardizes use of; Traffic signs Traffic signals Pavement markings On or adjacent to streets and highways MUTCD is a nationally used standard required by the FHWA

Best Management Practices- Traffic Operations Develop uniform traffic control policies and procedures based on MUTCD for installation of: Signs (Traffic, parking, speed, street name, school and pedestrian, railroad, etc.) Markings (Pavement lane delineation, crosswalks, stop lines, etc.) Traffic signals Truck, bicycle and pedestrian routes Traffic calming devices Conduct traffic study before installation Authorize installation through legislation Remember ADA

Who “Owns” Your Streets? Street Operations Manager? City Engineer? Both? Other? No one?

Best Management Practices: Street Maintenance Operations and maintenance (O&M) responsibilities assigned O&M procedures established Inspection system established (roads, bridges, tunnels, walls, sidewalks, etc.) Preventive maintenance program adopted Street maintenance coordinated with capital improvement projects Asset Management for streets (Pavement Management System) Methods for reporting street repair needs

Street Maintenance- Pavement Management Systems Definition of street segments Inventory Condition assessment Traffic/truck volume (street classification) Costs of alternative treatments Recommended treatment and cost Annual budget capacity Recommended program

Roadway Maintenance Program Elements Crack sealing Pothole patching and pavement repairs Street sweeping Related activities Signage and pavement marking Storm water system maintenance Mowing Snow plowing

Street Maintenance Activity Service Life Patch (1-3 years) Crack seal (1-3 years) Slurry seal (3-5 years) Chip seal (3-5 years) Resurface (10-20 years) Mill and overlay (10-20 years) Reconstruct (15-40 years)

Pavement Condition Chart

Pavement Life Variables Materials used Subsurface conditions Pavement condition and preventative maintenance Type of failure Traffic/truck volume Funding Citizen tolerance Political will

Methods for Receiving Street Repair Needs Patrol and survey by city crews and other departments Pothole hotlines Website Iphone and other mobile phone apps Citizen online service requests

Emerging Issues in Transportation Transit (rail and bus) Americans with Disabilities Act Aging population Alternate transportation modes (bicycles, motorcycles, jogging paths, walking) Traffic calming/streetscaping Intelligent highways/roadways Aging infrastructure Fluctuations in material prices Decreased funding
