From page 3...
... 1.3 Scope of Guidelines The Guidelines apply to intersections with approach speeds of 45 mph or greater. Stopcontrolled, yield-controlled, and uncontrolled approaches to signalized and unsignalized intersections are addressed.

From page 4...
... The Guidelines focus on speed reduction treatments within an intersection's geometric and operational influence areas and do not specifically address speed reduction in roadway segments. It is necessary to define the influence area of an intersection to differentiate between reducing speeds on the segment rather than the intersection.
