Abstract:

The objective of the study was to determine the optimum length of two-lane, two-way, no-passing traffic operation in construction/maintenance zones on rural four-lane divided highways. An equation was developed for the sum of road-user and traffic-control costs as a function of this length. The methods of calculus were then used to derive the optimum length that would minimize the sum of road-user and traffic-control costs. The optimum length equation derived can be used in the planning and design of crossover-type traffic control systems for construction/maintenance zones on rural four-land divided highways.
