Passing Lane Effectiveness on Two-Lane Roads
IN T R O D U C T IO N A passing lane is an added lane provided in one or both directions of travel on a conventional tw o-lane highw ay to im prove passing oppo r tunities. T his definition includes passing lanes in level or rolling terra in , clim bing lanes on grades, and short four-lane sections.

متن کاملOvertaking Prohibition Safety Effects on Two Lane Rural Roads
This paper presents the results of a cost-effectiveness study concerning the effects of an overtaking prohibition on two lane rural roads. Overtaking prohibitions are being implemented in the Netherlands aiming to improve safety. Overtaking frequency on road sections with and without overtaking prohibition are measured by means of camera observations Overtaking frequencies were determined by co...
متن کاملestimation of operating speed on two lane two way roads along n-65 (sibi –quetta)
present study is an extension of earlier work carried out on two-lane two way roads in the two provinces of pakistan i.e. n-25, n-55 and n-5 regarding the measure of operating speed and development of operating speed prediction models. curved sections of two-lane rural highways are the main location of run-off road accidents. in addition to that the road alignment having combination of geometri...
متن کاملDifferences in causality factors for single and multi-vehicle crashes on two-lane roads.
Past research has found a non-linear relationship between traffic intensity or level of service (LOS) and highway crash rates. This paper investigates this relationship further by including the effects of site characteristics and estimating Poisson regression models for predicting single and multi-vehicle crashes separately. Analysis focuses on rural two-lane highways, with hourly LOS, traffic ...
متن کاملTwo Low-Cost Safety Concepts for Two-Way STOP-Controlled, Rural Intersections on High-Speed Two-Lane, Two-Way Roadways
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety has identified intersections as one of its safety focus areas. As part of the FHWA efforts to reduce intersection crashes and the related injuries and fatalities, two concepts have been identified: (1) rumble strips on outside shoulders and in a painted yellow median island on major road approaches and (2) channelizing separator islands...
