Now that you have some idea of the make-up of the HTD, you need
to understand what it does. The functions of the HTD may vary, depending on
the amount of movement expected and the capacity of the road net. It will
normally perform most of the following functions and may be given others as
well:

traffic circulation plan.
Acts as a clearing house for highway status information.
Implements established priorities for highway routing.
Processes route clearance requests.
Establishes procedures for reporting road conditions, highway
construction, damage, etc.
