• Abstract:
  This report presents an evaluation of the concurrent flow reserved lane concept to improve the capacity of urban traffic facilities in metropolitan areas. The purpose of this effort is to evaluate the applicability of this concept to urban freeways in Texas. The concurrent flow reserved lane concept is described, and some of the advantages and limitations of the concept are identified. To date, January 1, 1977, several projects have been implemented. These projects are individually summarized and collectively analyzed. Based on the review of these data, the evaluation of what capability the concurrent flow reserved lane has for improving increased person movement on urban freeways is presented.
