Manuals, Codes and Policies(NJDOT Standards and Guidance Documents)
Policy on use of ITE standards
The Institute
of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has published engineering
design practices. These references may be approved for use in conjunction
with various NJDOT manuals. ITE publications represent nationwide
standards which do not always satisfy New Jersey conditions. When
standards differ, the instructions in NJDOT manuals shall govern
except on Interstate highways.

- Guidelines
for the Design and Application of Speed Humps: Recommended Practices
of the Institute of Transportation Engineers
This proposed recommended practice provides guidelines
for the design and application of speed humps, a roadway geometric
design feature intended to physically reduce vehicle speeds. Other
types of geometric design features that are not addressed in this
document but could be considered in a residential traffic management
program include raised intersections, rumble strips, pavement
width reductions, traffic circles, medians, diverters, forced-turn
channelization and culdesacs. These features are designed to attract
special attention, reduce vehicle speeds and/or physically restrict
or prevent vehicle movement along a roadway or within a neighborhood.
On existing residential streets, these geometric design features
generally should be installed only after less restrictive actions
have been considered and in no event should their use be intended
to allow or encourage the use of public streets as playgrounds.
