• Abstract:
  The intended purpose of this study was to determine the effect on traffic behavior of a vehicle stopped on the six-foot shoulder of a two-lane one-way freeway overpass. In the course of the study, however, it became evident that much of the data being collected was adaptable to further analysis dealing with the general operating characteristics of traffic. The speed and lateral placement of vehicles under various traffic volume conditions, are indicative of the adequacy of the design with respect to horizontal clearances, lane width, and shoulder width.
