• Description:
  The traffic operations on the inbound Gulf Freeway were analyzed to determine if an acceptable level of service was being provided when an accident, stalled vehicle, or other similar incident occurred on the freeway. The magnitude and frequency of the congestion and delays experienced due to the occurrence of incidents were found to be significant. The conclusion was reached that the need exists for improving the traffic operations on the inbound Gulf Freeway when incidents occur on it.
