This classic reference is the ideal core text for the traffic and highway engineering course taught in civil engineering programs. Garber and Hoel's best-selling transportation reference is newly revised to reflect recent TEA-21 legislation and transportation statistics. Some of the pedagogical elements that have made this book so successful both as a text and a professional reference include: motivating examples in each chapter; a list of references and a comprehensive problem set at the end of each chapter; and a large number of tables and diagrams. Readers can relate directly to the problems of motor vehicle travel, and this book allows them to gain a better understanding of highway transportation in all its dimensions, to experience some of the challenges of the profession, and to learn about professional opportunities.
