TRB’s Transportation Research Record, Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2219 includes 12 papers that explore driver comprehension and assessment of traffic control devices, managing trams and traffic at intersections with hook turns, analysis and mitigation of safety issues at curbside tram stops, light rail systems free of overhead wires, context-sensitive design concepts for streetcar electrification, rail transit safety, and valuing rail transit. This issue of the TRR also examines transit ridership evaluation using aggregate-level causal analyses, regional rapid transit, unrestricted shared rail use, electric power supply for commuter rail:, and understanding the variables that affect driving distance and station demand.
