  • Analysis of Traffic Capacity on Mountainous Two Lane Highway Adding Climbing Lane
    MATEC Web of Conferences 81, 04009 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/20168104009 ICTTE 2016 Analysis of Traffic Capacity on Mountainous Two Lane Highway Adding Climbing Lane Yunwei Meng1,2 , Hailing Li2, Hejun Chai2 and ZonglingYan 2 1The Key Laboratory of Road and Traffic Engineering, Ministry of Education, Tongji University, 201804,Shanghai, China 2China Merchants Chongqing Communications Technology Research & Design Institute Co., LTD, 400067,Chongqing, China Abstract. During the construction of mountainous double lane highway, climbing lane plays a certain role for enhancing the traffic capacity. In order to explore traffic capacity improvement effect for different conditions of climbing lane, 20 representative models are chosen, which contain various combinations of alignment and traffic parameters. The changes of traffic capacity, average speed, delays, and saturation in models are obtained before and after the use of a climbing lane by means of numerical simulation. The results show that the use of a climbing lane could improve traffic capacity, average speed, while reducing delays and saturation. The improvement effect is different according to different combinations of alignment and traffic parameters. The research could provide a reference for mountainous climbing lane construction intend. 1 Introduction found that it is possible to generate traffic bottlenecks in the lane separation and convergence position. It can Because of the limitation of geology, topography and effectively ease traffic congestion by extending the length engineering investment, two-way two lane highway is of the transition section [4]. Setting up a reasonable common form in mountainous area of China. Two lane climbing lane, it can slow down the occurrence of traffic highways in mountain area is the main artery, assuming congestion [5].

  • BMP Chapter 3: Bicycle Network Recommendations
    Chapter 3 Bellingham Bicycle Master Plan | Chapter 3: Bicycle Network Recommendations Chapter 3: Bicycle Network Recommendations Chapter 3 presents the recommended network of on-street bicycle facilities that will help Bellingham meet the goals of this Plan. It describes the methodology used to develop the proposed network and suggests facility types for each street segment in the network. This chapter also provides a prioritized list of recommendations to facilitate strategic and timely implementation of the Plan. Network Opportunities and Constraints The City of Bellingham street system presents both opportunities and constraints for developing an on- street, city-wide bicycle network that safely connects all major destinations for bicyclists of all skill levels. In areas of the City that have a traditional street grid pattern, such as Downtown, Fairhaven, and neighborhoods west of Interstate 5 (I-5), there are strong opportunities on local and arterial streets to develop a system of well-connected bicycle facilities. In newer sections of the City, particularly to the east and north of I-5, there are more dead-end streets and larger blocks, making it harder to develop an extensive network of bicycle facilities in these areas. Many of these areas with limited connectivity were built under the current land use and local, State, and federal environmental regulations, which are much more restrictive than in the past and can make street and trail construction - and associated environmental impact mitigation - very expensive. One of the most significant challenges for creating a connected bicycle network is I-5. There are currently eleven arterial streets that cross I-5 over a nine-mile stretch and many of these are intimidating to novice and intermediate bicyclists.

For signing and delineation of auxiliary lanes, see the Standard Plans, the Traffic Manual, and the MUTCD. Contact the region Traffic Engineer for guidance. Although slow-moving vehicle turnouts and shoulder driving for slow vehicles are not auxiliary lanes, they are covered in this chapter because they perform a similar function. For additional information, see the following: Chapter 1103 Design controls, including speed Chapter 1230 Geometric cross section components Chapter 1310 Turn lanes Chapter 1310 Speed change lanes at intersections Chapter 1360 Collector-distributor roads Chapter 1360 Weaving lanes Chapter 1410 High-occupancy vehicle lanes 1270.02 Climbing Lanes 1270.02(1) General Climbing lanes (see Exhibit 1270-1) are normally associated with truck traffic, but they may also be considered in recreational or other areas that are subject to slow-moving traffic.

  • From Truck-Only Lanes
    Appendix A. NCHRP Project 03-73 Separation of Vehicles – CMV- Only Lanes Task 7 – Interim Report NCHRP Project 3-73: Separation of Vehicles - CMV-Only Lanes A. NCHRP Project 03-73 Separation of Vehicles – CMV-Only Lanes Task 7 – Interim Report A.1 Introduction This interim report document provides results of the first phase of research on National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 03-73 Separation of Vehicles – Commercial Motor Vehicle-Only Lanes project. It presents a review and discussion of a wide range of issues relevant to planning, designing, and evaluating a variety of concepts from CMV-Only Lanes that should be useful to planners and policy makers in the public and private sector. It also presents an evaluation of available data and its suitability to conduct additional analyses in Phase II of the research plan. A.1.1 Project Overview For a number of years, there has been growing interest in commercial motor vehicle (CMV)- only lanes and several notable proposals for CMV-only lane systems/projects have appeared in the planning and traffic engineering literature. To a large extent, this growth in interest has been related to the growth in truck traffic relative to automobile traffic and the contribution of truck traffic to congestion. Heavy trucks have a greater impact on capacity than their sheer volume would suggest, especially when mixed with automobiles. Separation of autos and trucks may be a beneficial way of building more system capacity in certain circumstances. A number of studies also have suggested that CMV-only lanes that are tolled may present a viable means of financing system capacity improvements.

  • Highway Geometric Design Guide
    DESIGN BULLETIN #66/2010 Highway Geometric Design Guide Chapter B, Climbing Lane Warrants for Two Lane Undividedthe and Four Lane Divided Highways - Revised of Summary This Design Bulletin is being issued as an amendment to Chapter B.5.3.1 –B Climbing Lane Warrants for Two Lane Undivided Highways and Chapter B.5.3.2 – Climbing Lane Warrants for Four Lane Divided Highways of the Alberta Transportation Highway Geometric Design Guide 1995, Updated 1999. The revisions are needed due to changes in vehicle performance, average running speeds and due to a need to make all geometricGuide" improvements cost-effective. Key Changes Changes have been made to the department’s practice for constructing climbing lanes on rural two-lane highways as follows (Refer to Section B.5.3.1 of the Design Guide for the current warrant): Design Climbing lanes are considered “warranted”CHAPTER when either all of the first three conditions OR condition 4 is met. The four conditions are for 1) speed reduction of the design vehicle 2) heavy traffic volume 3) level-of-service in2020 the upgrade direction during the design hour is “C” orby lower and 4) economic justification as shown below. Condition 1: A 15 km/h speed reduction is experienced by the design vehicle. For the purpose of calculating the speed reduction it is assumed that the design vehicle entry speed is 95 km/h and the mass power ratio is based on the 85th percentile design vehicle (i.e. at least 85% of the heavy vehicles travelling in the upgrade direction in the design hour must be able to perform as well as the design vehicle).
