• Abstract:
  Due to imbalance of traffic demand during peak hours and to a lane reduction at merge areas, traffic congestion is occurring at major interchanges during peak period operation. The premise is that better interchange operation is achieved by traffic control or minor geometric modification. In Houston, the merge areas at two interchanges were considered as possible study sites for evaluation of part of the previous premise. Preliminary analysis indicated that one of the interchanges would be a desirable site for a pilot study.
