Preferential and Managed Lane Signs and General Information Signs
2009 Edition Page 253 CHAPTER 2G. PREFERENTIAL AND MANAGED LANE SIGNS Section 2G.01 Scope Support: 01 Preferential lanes are lanes designated for special traffic uses such as high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs), light rail, buses, taxis, or bicycles. Preferential lane treatments might be as simple as restricting a turning lane to a certain class of vehicles during peak periods, or as sophisticated as providing a separate roadway system within a highway corridor for certain vehicles. 02 Preferential lanes might be barrier-separated (on a separate alignment or physically separated from the other travel lanes by a barrier or median), buffer-separated (separated from the adjacent general-purpose lanes only by a narrow buffer area created with longitudinal pavement markings), or contiguous (separated from the adjacent general-purpose lanes only by a lane line). Preferential lanes might allow continuous access with the adjacent general-purpose lanes or restrict access only to designated locations. Preferential lanes might be operated in a constant direction or operated as reversible lanes. Some reversible preferential lanes on a divided highway might be operated counter-flow to the direction of traffic on the immediately adjacent general-purpose lanes. 03 Preferential lanes might be operated on a 24-hour basis, for extended periods of the day, during peak travel periods only, during special events, or during other activities. 04 Open-road tolling lanes and toll plaza lanes that segregate traffic based on payment method are not considered preferential lanes. Chapter 2F contains information regarding signing of open-road tolling lanes and toll plaza lanes. 05 Managed lanes typically restrict access with the adjacent general-purpose lanes to designated locations only. -
Illinois Rules of the Road 2021 DSD a 112.35 ROR.Qxp Layout 1 5/5/21 9:45 AM Page 1
DSD A 112.32 Cover 2021.qxp_Layout 1 1/6/21 10:58 AM Page 1 DSD A 112.32 Cover 2021.qxp_Layout 1 5/11/21 2:06 PM Page 3 Illinois continues to be a national leader in traffic safety. Over the last decade, traffic fatalities in our state have declined significantly. This is due in large part to innovative efforts to combat drunk and distracted driving, as well as stronger guidelines for new teen drivers. The driving public’s increased awareness and avoidance of hazardous driving behaviors are critical for Illinois to see a further decline in traffic fatalities. Beginning May 3, 2023, the federal government will require your driver’s license or ID card (DL/ID) to be REAL ID compliant for use as identification to board domestic flights. Not every person needs a REAL ID card, which is why we offer you a choice. You decide if you need a REAL ID or standard DL/ID. More information is available on the following pages. The application process for a REAL ID-compliant DL/ID requires enhanced security measures that meet mandated federal guidelines. As a result, you must provide documentation confirming your identity, Social Security number, residency and signature. Please note there is no immediate need to apply for a REAL ID- compliant DL/ID. Current Illinois DL/IDs will be accepted to board domestic flights until May 3, 2023. For more information about the REAL ID program, visit REALID.ilsos.gov or call 833-503-4074. As Secretary of State, I will continue to maintain the highest standards when it comes to traffic safety and public service in Illinois. -
GIS Data Hub Data Collection Specification - Part 2
Licensing & Data Management Section (LDM) GIS Data Collection Specification GIS Data Hub Data Collection Specification - Part 2 16 Data Specification The details of the data to be submitted are as follows: 16.1 Arrow Marking (Point) Description: A point representation of an arrow painted on the road surface to advice motorists on the direction of traffic flow. Attribute Format: Field Name Data Size Precision Scale Allow Value Description Type Null TYP_CD String 4 0 0 No A, B, C, D, E, Please see Note 3 F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O BEARG_NUM Double 8 38 8 No Bearing. Please see Note 2 LVL_NUM Short 2 4 0 No Level of road where feature exists 2 At-grade (ground level) 8 1st level depressed road 9 1st level elevated road 7 2nd level depressed road 10 2nd level elevated road RD_CD Text 6 0 0 No Refer to list Road Code (assigned to the Road Name) where feature exists Notes: 1) Arrow Marking co-ordinate is the midpoint at the base of the arrow in the direction of the traffic flow. For example, a) Type C (straight / right turn shared arrow): one arrow only, hence only one point (x1, y1) required. V2.7 Page 9 Licensing & Data Management Section (LDM) GIS Data Collection Specification b) Types G (left converging arrow) & H (right converging arrow): two arrows, hence two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are required. 2) The bearing should correspond with the bearing of each individual road. For example, if the bearing of the road is 97 degrees, then the bearing of arrow markings A is 97 degrees and the bearing of arrow markings B is 277 degrees respectively. -
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%. -
EASAC Report on Packaging Plastics in the Circular Economy
Packaging plastics in the circular economy Packaging plastics in the circular ea sac Packaging plastics in the circular economy March 2020 March EASAC policy report 39 March 2020 ISBN: 978-3-8047-4129-4 EASAC This report can be found at www.easac.eu Science Advice for the Benefit of Europe EASAC EASAC – the European Academies' Science Advisory Council – is formed by the national science academies of the EU Member States to enable them to collaborate with each other in giving advice to European policy-makers. It thus provides a means for the collective voice of European science to be heard. EASAC was founded in 2001 at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Its mission reflects the view of academies that science is central to many aspects of modern life and that an appreciation of the scientific dimension is a pre-requisite to wise policy-making. This view already underpins the work of many academies at national level. With the growing importance of the European Union as an arena for policy, academies recognise that the scope of their advisory functions needs to extend beyond the national to cover also the European level. Here it is often the case that a trans-European grouping can be more effective than a body from a single country. The academies of Europe have therefore formed EASAC so that they can speak with a common voice with the goal of building science into policy at EU level. Through EASAC, the academies work together to provide independent, expert, evidence-based advice about the scientific aspects of public policy to those who make or influence policy within the European institutions. -
