50 CHAPTER THREE SURVEY RESULTS The survey examined the following issues and questions: • Standard approaches to treating high-to-low speed transitions • Enhanced or innovative treatments for high-to-low speed transitions • Case studies. The following sections present the survey results organized into these three areas.
