Review of the Previous Edition: "It is not only a good textbook but also a valuable resource book." Municipal Engineer Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering is a comprehensive textbook on the relevant principles and practice. It includes sections on transport policy and planning, traffic surveys and accident investigation, road design for capacity and safety, and traffic management. Clearly written and illustrated, the book is ideal reading for students of transport, transport planning, traffic engineering and road design. This new book, written by senior academics in the field of transport, is a worthy successor to the widely acclaimed first volume of O’Flaherty’s Highways. The content has been expanded and thoroughly updated to reflect the many changes that have taken place in this topical area.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Great Britain's transportation systems planning.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering (Paperback)
While the book may have a great deal of useful information regarding transportation planning, it is written about Great Britain's roads and other public transport and so has limited utility in a non-British transportation context. Formulas are in kilometers, designs are for left-hand driving, etc.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A Good Piece of Textbook,
This review is from: Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering (Paperback)
This book is a very good textbook which outlines all essentials and principles of transport planning and policy, with examples and illustration. There is one minor de-merit which the book is too concentrate on United Kingdom situation. However, I would still say that this book is very useful for students who need to understand the transportation and traffice engineering principles.
