Traffic control device reference?
(OP)
Can anyone recommend a reference that explains how to do a TCD-related traffic study? This is for a county engineer.
The ITE Traffic Control Device Handbook comes to mind, but I suspect he's looking for more of a "how-to" manual.
Thanks.

RE: Traffic control device reference?
The institute of Transportation Engineers has a Manual of Transportation Engineering Studies ($99 for non-members). It is an update of their previously published Manual of Traffic Enginering Studies. I have not seen the new edition, but the Table of Contents for the 1976 edition reads as follows:
Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 2 Inventories for Traffic Studies
Chapter 3 Traffic Volumes
Chapter 4 Traffic Accident Studies
Chapter 5 Traffic Conflicts
Chapter 6 Spot Speeds
Chapter 7 Travel Times and Delays
Chapter 8 Intersection Delays
Chapter 9 Origin-Destination Surveys
Chapter 10 Parking Studies
Chapter 11 Public Transportation Usage
Chapter 12 Public Transportation Speed and Delays
Chapter 13 Street Lighting
Chapter 14 Observance of Control Devices
I have found the 1976 edition to be a useful reference.
