Entry/exit is one of the major components of highway transportation service. Some might say it is the most important component since it ties directly to origin and destination (OD) pairs, as airline service is tied to city pairs and airport capacity. Entry/exit capacity can dictate a freeway system capacity. As we increase the freeway cruise lane c
