Ramp Planning and Design Considerations (C04-005)
Road Diet Informational Guide (C04-061)
This online engineering PDH course discusses about the dissemination of Travel Time Reliability (TTR) information using a set of tested Lexicon phrases in order to help road users make optimal travel choices and reduce roadway congestion.
Travel time variability is a characteristic of the transportation system that means a traveler’s trip will vary from what is normally expected and will potentially take longer than planned. By helping travelers make travel choices that take into account travel time variability, agencies have the potential to reduce roadway congestion. This reduced congestion has the added benefit of reducing primary and secondary crashes, vehicle emissions, and fuel use, as well as yielding other benefits.
Travel Time Reliability (TTR) information includes static data about traffic speeds or trip times that capture historic variations from day to day and enable individuals to understand the level of variability in traffic. A key component to addressing the reliability issue related to urban mobility is conveying this TTR information to system users so that they can make informed decisions about their travel. The challenge for transportation professionals lies in selecting the best means of conveying that information so that it is usable and effective to the traveler and other stakeholders.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to transportation engineers who are interested in helping travelers make better travel choices and in reducing roadway congestion.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the concept of Travel Time Reliability (TTR)
- Learning about field studies conducted in various regions and the obtained results
- Familiarizing with the deployment of the Travel Time Reliability Lexicon
- Gaining a general overview of the dissemination of the information to travelers across a broad spectrum of delivery platforms including websites, mobile application designs, graphical messages, and auditory messages

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance and recommended practices on planning and designing ramps with freeway facilities. The overriding objectives of effective planning and design are to minimize congestion, improve safety and enhance overall mobility.
This course also describes in greater depth the issues and concepts specific to ramp planning and design. This information will help practitioners develop a comprehensive understanding of project planning and design, and it will help ensure that projects are implemented successfully.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to traffic engineers, transportation planners, managers, and other technical professionals who are involved in ramp planning and design in support of the overall ramp management strategy.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Knowing the environmental review process
- Understanding the design considerations for ramp closures
- Understanding the design considerations for special-use ramps
- Understanding the design considerations for terminal treatments
- Understanding the design considerations for ramp metering
- Planning and design for ITS technology and electronic infrastructure
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Chapter 10, "Planning and Design Considerations" of the Federal Highway Administration Publication FHWA-HOP-06-001, "Ramp Management and Control Handbook".

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the design and post-implementation evaluation of Road Diets, and presents the decision-making process that helps practitioners determine whether Road Diets are a good fit for a certain corridor.
Four-lane undivided highways have a history of relatively high crash rates as traffic volumes increase and as the inside lane is shared by higher speed through traffic and left-turning vehicles. One option for addressing this safety concern is a “Road Diet.” A Road Diet involves converting an existing four-lane undivided roadway segment to a three-lane segment consisting of two through lanes and a center two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL). The reduction of lanes allows the roadway cross section to be reallocated for other uses such as bike lanes, pedestrian refuge islands, transit stops, or parking.
A Road Diet improves safety by including a protected left-turn lane for mid-block left-turning motorists, reducing crossing distance for pedestrians, and reducing travel speeds that decrease crash severity. Additionally, the Road Diet provides an opportunity to allocate excess roadway width to other purposes, including bicycle lanes, on-street parking, or transit stops.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to transportation engineers who are interested in improving safety and reducing highway fatalities through the use of proven safety countermeasures including Road Diets.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the basics of Road Diets
- Understanding the multidimensional benefits of Road Diets
- Learning about the geometric and operational designs of Road Diets
- Gaining a general overview on how to conduct a safety and an operational analysis to determine if the Road Diet is effective
- Exploring various case studies on feasibility determination decision-making
