Abstract:

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) uses ramp control signals (also called ramp meters or

flow signals) to control the rate at which vehicles enter the freeway. This helps TxDOT (1) promote a more

consistent and uniform flow of traffic entering the freeway, and (2) promote a more efficient use of the

existing freeway capacity.

The purpose of this project was to develop guidelines and criteria to assist TxDOT decision makers in

determining when and where to install new ramp control signals and remove existing ramp control signals

when they no longer provide a benefit to freeway traffic. This report documents the process, procedures, and

research used to develop those guidelines and criteria. The actual guidelines, criteria, and forms are in

Product 0-5294-P1, “Operating Guidelines for TxDOT Ramp Control Signals.”
