ILEV

inherently low emission vehicle Any kind of vehicle that, because of inherent properties of the fuel system design, will not have significant evaporative emissions, even if its evaporative emission control system has failed. MUTCD 2009 Edition with May 2012 Revisions 1 and 2

In-Roadway Lights

A special type of highway traffic signal installed in the roadway surface to warn road users that they are approaching a condition on or adjacent to the roadway that might not be readily apparent and might require the road users to slow down and/or come to a stop. MUTCD 2009 Edition with May 2012 Revisions 1 and 2

Inferred design speed

The maximum speed for which all critical design-speed-related criteria are met at a particular location.


Inherently Low Emission Vehicle (ILEV)

Any kind of vehicle that, because of inherent properties of the fuel system design, will not have significant evaporative emissions, even if its evaporative emission control system has failed. MUTCD 2009 Edition with May 2012 Revisions 1 and 2

Interchange

A system of interconnecting roadways providing for traffic movement between two or more highways that do not intersect at grade. MUTCD 2009 Edition with May 2012 Revisions 1 and 2

Interconnection

When used in Part 8, the electrical connection between the railroad or light rail transit active warning system and the highway traffic signal controller assembly for the purpose of preemption. MUTCD 2009 Edition with May 2012 Revisions 1 and 2

Intermediate Interchange

An interchange with an urban or rural route that is not a major or minor interchange as defined in this Section. MUTCD 2009 Edition with May 2012 Revisions 1 and 2

Internal Traffic Control Plan

A traffic control plan developed to control the flow of construction workers, vehicles, and equipment within the work space.


Internal traffic control plan coordinator

A person designated by the contractor as a competent person who has the ability to recognize hazards associated with the movement of construction vehicles, equipment, and personnel within the work space and has the authority to modify conditions to eliminate those hazards.

Intersection

Intersection is defined as follows: (a) The area embraced within the prolongation or connection of the lateral curb lines, or if none, the lateral boundary lines of the roadways of two highways that join one another at, or approximately at, right angles, or the area within which vehicles traveling on different highways that join at any other angle might come into conflict. (b) The junction of an alley or driveway with a roadway or highway shall not constitute an intersection, unless the roadway or highway at said junction is controlled by a traffic control device. (c) If a highway includes two roadways that are 30 feet or more apart (see definition of Median), then every crossing of each roadway of such divided highway by an intersecting highway shall be a separate intersection .(d) If both intersecting highways include two roadways that are 30 feet or more apart, then every crossing of any two roadways of such highways shall be a separate intersection. At a location controlled by a traffic control signal, regardless of the distance between the separate intersections as defined in (c) and (d) above: (1) If a stop line, yield line, or crosswalk has not been designated on the roadway (within the median) between the separate intersections, the two intersections and the roadway (median) between them shall be considered as one intersection; (2) Where a stop line, yield line, or crosswalk is designated on the roadway on the intersection approach, the area within the crosswalk and/or beyond the designated stop line or yield line shall be part of the intersection; and (3) Where a crosswalk is designated on a roadway on the departure from the intersection, the intersection shall include the area extending to the far side of such crosswalk.
