• 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.
