In my own point of view this text book is the best among other text books in this fiels. Very organized, very clear and very useful. Great reference for undergradute studies. Excellent examples. Great job. It is perfect. I am doing my Master and many times I go to this book. I am talking about latest edition 2004.

Best Textbook on the Subject Mar 27, 2010
By A reader
This textbook is, by far, the best short-form textbook on highway engineering and traffic analysis. There are other long-form books that cover more topics and take more time to cover each topic, but this book is superior for its pedagogical intent: a clear presentation of basic principles and a concise reference book.
The authors of the book, especially Mannering and Washburn, are THE top experts in this area, come from the BEST universities in this area, and are also superior educators. This book is the top choice for classroom instruction and is also a must-have desk reference for practicing transportation engineers.

 Traffic Engineering-book lacks depth Oct 22, 2011
By Gehad Joseph
The book does not thorougly explain each topic and is not very user friendly. The reading is easy but the lack of discussion for proper understanding leaves alot to desire.
Good enough Feb 22, 2011
By johnnyb588
This book is fair. I wouldn't say it's the greatest textbook I've ever had, but it did increase my knowledge a bit on the topic of traffic engineering. If it's recommended or requireed for your coursework, I would recommend that you buy it. If you are buying this as a professional, I might look elsewhere, as most of the concepts in this book are relatively simple, and I think they might be explained better with another resource.
Basic Knowledge in a Nutshell Dec 15, 2009
By N. Skachkov
I agree with the reviewer who said that he was able to use the book without prior knowledge of physics or highway design. The book is one of the smallest text books i've had and probably the simplest. I honestly don't know much about the scope of highway design, but it is hard to believe that this book encompasses all of it, even on a basic level. Used the book for a class I was required to take. The information is broken down into manageable and separate topics better than in most books (maybe it has to do more with the subject than the book). The examples were clear and easy to follow. To say that I have "learned" something new would be an exaggeration. Do I now understand the "principles of highway engineering and traffic analysis"? Yes. The book is a collection of formulas with clear explanations on how to use them. Some of the information was interesting just as pure facts (for example seeing how lane widths, shoulder widths, % no passing zones, and some other factors impact the speed that people feel "comfortable" traveling at). A capable reader can get through this book, understand everything in its entirety (I mean not there won't be a single thing you're not 100% sure about from cover to cover), and be able to solve any of the questions in it after about 30 hours of pure studying. This is also one of those books that you can open to a random question without reading anything, and be able to solve it in 10-20 minutes max. Honestly this whole semester should have been condensed to about 3-4 weeks in a more encompassing class. I got a 96 and 100 on the two exams (and a 95-100 on the final that I just took) that were based on this book, and Im a B/B- CE student.
