          "Views of various city intersections."Source: FHWAIntersection control evaluation (ICE) is a data–driven, performance–based framework to screen intersection alternatives and identify an optimal solution.

Developing or adopting an ICE policy offers transportation agencies the following benefits:

Implementation of safer, more balanced, and more
	cost–effective solutions
	Consistent documentation to support transparency of
	decisions
	Increased awareness of innovative solutions
	Objective performance metrics for decision–makingOutreach and Education Resources
