This document presents the content revisions of Chapter B of the 'Geometric Design Standards for Ontario Highways' manual. The Traffic and Capacity Chapter (Chapter B) is intended to provide the analyst and/or designer with the basic tools to perform traffic capacity analyses on Provincially controlled highway segments and intersections. Chapter B provides the most up-to-date methods currently available. The material presented is primarily based on the methods included in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual and modified methods of previously developed approaches and guidelines prepared by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.

Design provides the policies, standards, procedures, guidance, technical assistance, and training needed to develop and maintain a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system.
The Design Program innovates design solutions by:
- Ensuring the adoption of “Best Practices” and design information to promote safety, statewide consistency, efficiency and quality.
- Assisting in the application of design standards and practices to facilitate the resolution of project development issues.
- Providing technical support and design expertise on highway design issues related to motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians.
- Establishing flexibility in Caltrans highway design standards and procedures, especially in the context of urban environments and multi-model design.
