False
Traffic management focuses on short-term, tactical solutions to guide traffic in real-time
False
Queue Warning Systems alert drivers to upcoming congestion to reduce sudden stops and accidents
True
What is the primary goal of traffic management?
Long-term efficiency
What is the purpose of trailer-mounted attenuators?
Enhance mobility in short-term zones
Steel barriers are ideal for long-duration projects.
False
Dynamic Lane Reversal is a strategy that allows lanes to change direction based on traffic demand
True
Traffic control includes tools like traffic lights, signs, barriers, and trained personnel to regulate traffic.
True
Ballast-filled barriers are suitable for low-speed zones.
True
What is the purpose of median treatments?
To separate opposing traffic flows

Management (Level 3)
What operational inefficiency results from closely spaced access points?
Reduced travel speeds
_____ represents an innovation developed from extensive application of hierarchy principles in road network planning
Four-Level Road Hierarchy
What is one safety hazard linked to uncontrolled access points?
Side-swipe and rear-end collisions
Local streets prioritize accessibility to properties but may introduce more conflict points due to frequent driveways and intersections.
True
Higher-order roads, such as freeways and major arterials, are designed primarily for accessibility, facilitating long-distance travel with limited access points.
False
What is the "safety-mobility tradeoff" in access management?
Balancing property access with maintaining high-speed traffic flow
_____ is the proactive management of vehicular access points to land parcels adjacent to all manner of roadways.
Access management
What is the recommended minimum access spacing for urban roads?
