Abstract:This document is the third such handbook for freeway management and operations. It is intended to be an introductory
manual – a resource document that provides an overview of the various institutional and technical issues associated with the

Freeway Handbook was prepared. It also considers a broader view as well, including freeway management in the context of
the entire surface transportation network, lane management concepts, roadway improvements (both geometric and
operational), performance monitoring and associated measures, established processes for dealing with the risks associated
with technology – intensive systems, and the role of freeway management during emergencies and evacuations.
Specific chapters include Introduction (background on the freeway network, definitions, congestion, safety, mobility), freeway
management and the surface transportation network (the various interdependencies during the facility’s life –cycle, freeway
management programs, performance monitoring and evaluation, roadway improvements, roadway operational
improvements (e.g., signs and markings), ramp management, lane management, HOV facilities, traffic incident
management, planned special event management, freeway management during emergencies and evacuations, information
