TOWN OF IRONDEQUOIT ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Image: Town of Irondequoit The Active Transportation Plan is a guide to accomplish the Town’s vision for developing a network of sidewalks, on-road bicycle facilities, and trails that allow for safe and convenient travel in and around the Town of Irondequoit. In addition, multiple driving forces support the need for active transportation planning within the Town: Ongoing trail development in the Town which will benefit from coordinated planning and prioritization of improvements; The Town’s focus on quality of life and preserving Irondequoit as “Town for a Lifetime;” Health related reasons, injuries, and inability to reach key destinations; and Developments external to the Town, including the adoption of Complete Streets Legislation by New York State as well as the completion of Active Transportation plans for many adjacent communities. The study provides a plan to understand current and future needs and identify strategies to better accommodate bicycle, pedestrian, and transit-oriented travel to, from, and through the Town of Irondequoit. The Active Transportation Plan establishes a clear framework for the Town to: understand community preferences and needs related to active transportation; analyze current gaps in walking/ biking/transit systems within the town; identify potential infrastructure improvements, programming and policy changes; outline a series of strategies and action items, including constructibility analysis and planning level cost estimates; and prioritize activities and projects that will result in improved community connectivity and enhanced mobility for residents of all ages and abilities. The Plan’s recommendations, when implemented, will help the Town of Irondequoit achieve many public health, economic, and quality of life benefits through enhanced accommodation of active transportation. PAGE 6 Prepared by Barton & Loguidice, DPC and Sprinkle Consulting, Inc. TOWN OF IRONDEQUOIT ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN All recommendations are “concept level planning and design” and intended as guidance for further consideration and/or development. As such, the programming, design, and implementation of the Plan’s recommendations won’t occur until all facility-owner concerns are addressed, whether the facilities are owned by the Town of Irondequoit, Monroe County or other agencies. As the Town considers and works to implement these recommendations, it is committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure that their requirements and concerns are met. The following sections are included in the Active Transportation Plan: INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY: This section is an outline of the background and setting for the Plan. Summarized within this section

  • 2B-1 Application of Regulatory Signs Regulatory
    6. REGULATORY SIGNS 2B-1 Application of Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs inform highway users of traffic laws or regulations and indicate the applicability of legal requirements that would not oth- erwise be apparent. These signs shall be erected wherever needed to fulfill this purpose, but unnecessary mandates should be avoided. The laws of many States specify that certain regulations are enforceable only when made known by official signs. Some regulatory signs are related to operational controls but do not impose any obligations or prohibitions. For example, signs giving ad- vance notice of or marking the end of a restricted zone are included in the regulatory group. Regulatory signs normally shall be erected at those locations where regulations apply. The sign message shall clearly indicate the require- ments imposed by the regulation and shall be easily visible and legible to the vehicle operator. 2B-2 Classification of Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs are classified in the following groups: 1. Right-of-way series: (a) STOP sign (sec. 2B-4 to 6) (b) YIELD sign (sec. 2B-7 to 9) 2. Speed series (sec. 2B-10 to 14) 3. Movement series: (a) Turning (see. 2B-15 to 19) (b) Alignment (sec. 2B-20 to 25) (c) Exclusion (see. 2B-26 to 28) (d) One Way (sec. 2B-29 to 30) 4. Parking series (see. 2B-31 to 34) 5. Pedestrian series (see. 2B-35 to 36) 6. Miscellaneous series (sec. 2B-37 to 44) 2B-3 Design of Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs are rectangular, with the longer dimension vertical, and have black legend on a white background, except for those signs whose standards specify otherwise.

  • Stop & Yield Signs
    Stop & Yield Signs Stop and yield signs assign right-of-way to vehicles entering or crossing a roadway at an intersection. Stop signs alert drivers that they must come to a complete stop to ensure an intersection is clear of vehicles and pedestrians before proceeding through it. Yield signs alert drivers that they must prepare to slow down or stop to let vehicles on another approach proceed through an intersection. All-way stops An all-way stop requires vehicles approaching from all directions to come to a ALL-WAY STOP complete stop at the intersection before proceeding through it. INTERSECTION When approaching an all-way stop intersection, the vehicle that arrives first goes through the intersection first. If two vehicles come to a stop at the same time side-by-side, right-of-way goes to the vehicle on the right. If two vehicles come to a stop at the same time from opposite directions, both vehicles can proceed through the intersection at the same time, unless one vehicle is signaling to turn left, in which case the vehicle going straight through the intersection proceeds first, and then the vehicle turning left may proceed. An all-way stop is for intersections with moderate and relatively balanced traffic volume levels. If these conditions don’t exist, all-way stops may cause unnecessary delay and driver disobedience or disregard of stop signs. TWO-WAY STOP Two-way stops INTERSECTION A two-way stop only requires vehicles on the approach with the stop sign, usually a lower-volume, minor roadway, to come to a complete stop at the intersection.

  • Traffic and Road Sign Recognition
    Traffic and Road Sign Recognition Hasan Fleyeh This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Napier University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2008 Abstract This thesis presents a system to recognise and classify road and traffic signs for the purpose of developing an inventory of them which could assist the highway engineers’ tasks of updating and maintaining them. It uses images taken by a camera from a moving vehicle. The system is based on three major stages: colour segmentation, recognition, and classification. Four colour segmentation algorithms are developed and tested. They are a shadow and highlight invariant, a dynamic threshold, a modification of de la Escalera’s algorithm and a Fuzzy colour segmentation algorithm. All algorithms are tested using hundreds of images and the shadow-highlight invariant algorithm is eventually chosen as the best performer. This is because it is immune to shadows and highlights. It is also robust as it was tested in different lighting conditions, weather conditions, and times of the day. Approximately 97% successful segmentation rate was achieved using this algorithm. Recognition of traffic signs is carried out using a fuzzy shape recogniser. Based on four shape measures - the rectangularity, triangularity, ellipticity, and octagonality, fuzzy rules were developed to determine the shape of the sign. Among these shape measures octangonality has been introduced in this research. The final decision of the recogniser is based on the combination of both the colour and shape of the sign. The recogniser was tested in a variety of testing conditions giving an overall performance of approximately 88%.

Printed in the United States of America oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE HE book contains twelve chapters, but it can be broken up structurally into five parts. First, the place of writing among the various systems of human inter­ communication is discussed. This is followed by four Tchapters devoted to the descriptive and comparative treatment of the various types of writing in the world. The sixth chapter deals with the evolution of writing from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The next four chapters deal with general problems, such as the future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art, and religion. Of the two final chapters, one contains the first attempt to establish a full terminology of writing, the other an extensive bibliography. The aim of this study is to lay a foundation for a new science of writing which might be called grammatology. While the general histories of writing treat individual writings mainly from a descriptive-historical point of view, the new science attempts to establish general principles governing the use and evolution of writing on a comparative-typological basis.
