Abstract:Over the past two decades, agencies
have increasingly implemented managed
lanes (MLs) to mitigate growing urban traffic
congestion in the United States. Multiple operating
projects—
representing a combination
of HOV-to-HOT conversions and constructed
lanes—exist nationally, with more projects
soon to be implemented. Three of Texas’ four
major metropolitan regions currently envision
networks of managed lanes in their long-range
regional transportation plans.
Though lessons learned from existing ML facilities
have advanced the practice of implementing
new facilities, no one-size-fits-all strategy
exists. Each region/corridor exhibits unique
characteristics that require implementing
agencies to adapt previous experiences to their
own environments. Nevertheless, studying the
development of the Katy Freeway Managed
Lanes (KML) on I-10 in Houston, Texas, has
yielded valuable insights that can benefit
agencies implementing managed lanes in the
future.
