• Abstract:
  This report is a presentation of results obtained from research studies on ; diamond interchanges conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute in cooperation with the Texas Highway Department. These studies were conducted ; in connection with Research Project RP-16, .. Ramps and Interchanges, .. and ; had the objective of investigating the capacity, design., and operation of conventional-type diamond interchanges. The initial studies were designed to evaluate only the capacity of a conventional-type diamond interchange. The procedure and results of these ; studies were reported in a paper entitled "Capacity Study of Signalized ; Diamond Interchanges." This report was presented at the 40th annual meeting ; of the Highway Research Board and was distributed to the various districts ; and offices of the Texas Highway Department. ; In addition to the capacity studies, there existed a need for additional ; research to develop data which would serve as criteria in the design and ; signalization of diamond interchanges. The results of this research are presented as a major portion of this report.
