The content of this latest edition reflects updates to the most prominent sources of transportation practice, including the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (The Green Book), Highway Safety Manual (HSM), and many others.

The expectation is for this edition to equip traffic engineers for the key roles that they will play in the evolution of communities into hubs of economic and social activity. The organization of this handbook is reflective of this complexity through a functionality-driven multimodal approach to content categorization. In the development of this handbook, the editors, along with the ITE staff and teams of practicing professionals throughout North America, have worked to integrate the needs of all modes and all transportation system users through a holistic approach rather than just an afterthought.

This new edition of the Handbook also reflects the shifting philosophy of traffic engineering practice in which transportation professionals no longer serves as merely planners, designers, and operators of transportation systems. Rather, they are integral components of more comprehensive societal roles of community builders, influences of social and economic change, and investors of public resources.
