The book is comprised of two\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003evolumes. Volume 1 (this book) focuses on the development of basic principles,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eand their application to uninterrupted flow facilities: freeways, multilane\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehighways, and two-lane highways. Weaving, merging, and diverging segments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eon freeways and multilane highways are also discussed in detail. Volume 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efocuses on interrupted flow facilities: signalized and unsignalized intersections, urban streets and arterials. It is intended to help users of the manual understand how concepts,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eapproaches, and specific methodologies were developed, and to understand the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eunderlying principles that each embodies.
