Abstract:

For decades, Texas Department of Transportation districts have constructed auxiliary lanes to support interchange

ramp operations and to resolve congestion proximate to freeway entrance and exit ramps. While auxiliary lanes are

built throughout Texas, the existing roadway design manuals/guidelines do not present all of the necessary design tools

and details for design engineers. The objective of this research project was to develop implementation-oriented

guidelines on the use of auxiliary lanes. To fulfill this goal, the researchers (1) reviewed and synthesized national and

peer states’ practices, (2) conducted a survey of traffic engineers, (3) analyzed operational benefits from adding

auxiliary lanes at the segment level, (4) used micro-simulation to identify scope of impacts of auxiliary lanes at the

corridor level, (5) analyzed safety impacts of adding auxiliary lanes, and (6) developed guidelines and recommended

best practices.

The outcomes of this study provide important recommendations and numerical tools (e.g., the look-up tables) in

implementing and designing freeway auxiliary lanes for new construction or rehabilitation projects. The developed

methodologies and outcomes will complement the provisions in current state roadway design manuals/guidelines.
