Abstract:

Recreational travel has grown markedly over the past several decades with a growth rate averaging over 5 percent per year. Although the growth rate slowed somewhat during the 1973 to 1975 period of energy and economic concerns, it has since recovered. Projections of future growth depend upon the data base used, however, barring major world events, recreational highway travel should continue to grow at the some rate which is faster than other highway travel between now and 1990, perhaps 1.5 to 2.0 times as fast. Recreational vehicle ownership has likewise experienced tremendous growth, except that production dropped sharply in 1974 to 1975. More growth is expected but the market will probably become saturated within a decade. Recreational vehicles affect traffic in a manner similar to trucks, but to a lesser degree •. New data collection efforts coupled with computer simulations have led to improved means of quantifying these effects. Recreational vehicles also possess rather unique safety problems such as sensitivity to wind gusts and to overturning. Highway planners/designers can take certain steps to help ameliorate these problems.
