Operational Performance and Safety Effects of Arterial Weaving Sections
As drivers place increasing demands on transportation infrastructure and freeway congestion continues to increase, arterials have become an alternative route for many drivers, resulting in the lower performance of these roadways. In many areas, weaving maneuvers – defined as the crossing of two or more traffic streams in the same direction between two or more access points on a multilane urban street with some type of traffic control – negatively affect arterial operations and safety.
NCHRP Research Report 1094: Operational Performance and Safety Effects of Arterial Weaving Sections,
from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program,
presents a deterministic methodology for evaluating the operational performance of weaving sections on arterials.
Supplemental to the report are
appendices and a bibliography, a
computational engine, a
North Carolina case study, a
Texas case study, and a
PowerPoint presentation of instructional materials.
