Abstract:

This is the updated, 2nd version of this document. (The 1st version is FHWA-HOP-07-130). While many of the nation's bottlenecks must be addressed through costly major construction projects (i.e., "mega projects") or costly transportation alternative solutions (i.e., high occupancy vehicle or toll lanes, dynamic pricing, investments in transit alternatives, etc.) there is a significant opportunity for the application of operational and low-cost "fixes" at spot-specific locations. This Primer is the signature product of the Localized Bottleneck Reduction (LBR) Program, which is administered out of the Office of Operations, Office of Transportation Management, at FHWAY HQ in Washington, D.C. The LBR program is focused on recurring congestion chokepoints (as opposed to nonrecurring congestion causes) and the operational influences that cause them. Widening, lengthening, retiming, metering, or bypassing these problem areas to unclog them can often be done with lower cost, lesser intensive means than traditionally waiting for a complete facility rebuild or an out-year project.
