highly recommended!

Currently this book is one of the best books out there for Transportation Engineering. I have used it as a text book in my first Transportaion Engineering class as a senior in Civil Engineering in 2006, and I also use it as a reference. If you're interested in the material or need it for a class, I recommend this book for you.

Transportation Engineering and Planning

I bought it and never used it, the transportation books are outdated. this might be the best recommended book for the past 25 years.

Could be better

I didn't really read much of it because it was just way too complicated. There a lot of diagrams and formulas. However it was difficult to solve the questions at the end of the chapter because it doesn't say what section the question is coming from. In my experience, handouts from the professor and lecture notes were much more useful.

Not that wonderful

During the times that I've tried to learn from the book, there are often not enough examples to clearly convey how to tackle the end-of-chapter problems. Also, useful equations are not neatly organized in one part of the chapter (like the end). In the end, the notes that my professors provide prove the most useful.
