1、Designation:E266709Standard Practice forAcquiring Intersection Turning Movement Traffic Data1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2667;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number
2、 in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice for intersection turning movement dataacquisition was developed to improve its quality by specifyingthe data items to be collected
3、and a procedure for documentingthe results.Such a practice will provide the ability to comparethese data over time within governmental agencies and amongdifferent governmental agencies.While there are national andinternational standards for road segment traffic data,there isnot a practice for inters
