• Abstract:
  The focus of this project is to use a standard methodology to evaluate the Super Two concept for improving the geometrics of two-lane, two-way rural highways. This concept modifies existing lane usage by providing some form of alternating passing lanes on a reconfigured 44 foot cross section. The study includes the determination of signing and striping requirements. It also includes developing criteria for a test roadway and proposed geometric design requirements. Deliverables include a literature and benchmarking report, a feasibility study on the refined Super Two design, and proposed design criteria including drawings. A project summary report will contain the full description of all design alternatives with accompanying drawings to permit full implementation.
