Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the potential for reserved truck lanes and truckways in Florida in addition to determining how commerical vehicles have been managed within other states. The project specifically examines where exclusive truckways and truck lanes have been evaluated and constructed within the U. S. It summarizes and documents the costs and motivating factors in those cases where exclusive facilities have been constructed in the U. S. The study then evaluates the potential for reserved truck lanes and truckways on the Florida State Highway System by employing a GIS screening tool and field review of the highways that emerge as having a high potential for use of this strategy. The methodology is presented in detail and the results of the analysis for each corridor that was identified for the potential for exclusive truck lanes are discussed along with an identification of opportunities for consideration. The research also documents and maps abandoned railroad rights of way and relates them to highway corridors where additional exclusive truck facilities may be warranted. The report includes a brief discussion on the current uses of differential speed limits for trucks and automobiles.
