Abstract:

This report was to document the gathering of truck movement data on the North Freeway (I-45N) in Houston, Texas, primarily to determine the potential for trucks to use the proposed North Freeway contraflow lane. However, the final result of the study was the compilation of detailed traffic flow data concerning all traffic using the North Freeway. The data collection methods included interviews with major truck terminal operators, and both a.m. and p.m. peak-period data collection (using time-lapse photography) at two locations on the freeway. While the data might provide a useful base for evaluating other urban transportation problems such as the need for separate truck lanes, the evaluation concluded that few trucks would choose to utilize the proposed contraflow lane.
