Abstract Continued growth in travel on congested urban freeway corridors exceeds the ability of agencies to provide sufficient solutions and alternatives based on traditional roadway expansion and improvement projects. Several countries are implementing managed motorway concepts to improve motorway capacity without acquiring more land and building large-scale infrastructure projects. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study of England, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain to examine the use of innovative geometric design practices and techniques to improve the operational performance of congested freeway facilities without compromising safety. Managed motorways are a combination of active or dynamically managed operational regimes, specific designs of infrastructure, and technology solutions. The concept uses a range of traffic management measures to actively monitor the motorway and dynamically control speeds, add capacity, and inform road users of conditions on the network with the objective to optimize traffic and safety performance. Examples include shoulder running, variable mandatory speed limits, lane control signals, and driver information using variable message signs. Managed motorways increase journey reliability and throughput of a motorway by speed management and increase capacity by shoulder running. 17. Key Words 18.

  • Impact Assessment
    Title: Impact Assessment (IA) Raising the speed limit for HGVs >7.5T on dual carriageway roads IA No: DfT00280 Date: 23/09/2014 Lead department or agency: Stage: Final Department for Transport Source of intervention: Domestic Other departments or agencies: Type of measure: Primary legislation None Contact for enquiries: [email protected] Summary: Intervention and Options RPC Opinion: EANCB Validated Cost of Preferred (or more likely) Option Total Net Present Business Net Net cost to business per In scope of One-In, Measure qualifies as Value Present Value year (EANCB on 2009 prices) Two-Out? £0m £0m £0m Yes Zero net cost What is the problem under consideration? Why is government intervention necessary? On dual carriageways the speed limit for HGVs>7.5T is 50 mph. The average actual speed at which these HGVs travel in free flow conditions (when they are not held up by other traffic or obstructions such as junctions, hills or bends) is about 53 mph (excludes rigid 2 axle HGVs)1. More than 80% of HGVs exceed 50 mph in free-flow conditions. The limit is out of date and systematically ignored by professional HGV drivers. The proposal is to raise the speed limit on dual carriageway roads for these vehicles to 60mph, which would better reflect the capabilities of modern HGVs. Government intervention is necessary because speed is regulated by government, through speed limits, in order to balance the private benefits of speed of travel with the social costs and risks (such as related to safety) of high speeds. What are the policy objectives and the intended effects? The intention is to modernise the speed limit, improve compliance, make the limit more credible and legitimise the behaviour of professional drivers.

  • Roundabouts Applying the 'System'
    Roundabouts Applying the 'System' to Roundabouts Let us suppose that you are on a dual carriageway approaching a roundabout (400m away). You are currently in the left lane and you intend to turn right at the roundabout. Information: - Take - You see the roundabout and its triangular warning signs in the distance. There are no vehicles between you and the roundabout but you see vehicles on the roundabout. Mirror check. There are two vehicles behind, both in the left lane. - Use - You know that you have to change to the right lane and that you will need to signal to change lane and then to signal continuously on the approach and through the roundabout (the standard Highway Code procedure for turning right at a roundabout)- Give - After checking your mirrors you signal right to the vehicles behind. Position: The right signal remains on for a few seconds and then gradually you move to the right hand lane (Information-Use/Give). When the manoeuver is complete you cancel the signal. After a few more seconds the right signal is re-applied to confirm to the drivers behind that you intend to turn right at the roundabout. Information: The speed and position of the vehicles behind are monitored as you approach the roundabout. An assessment is made of the movement of vehicles on the roundabout and those approaching it from the right and left. You look over the roundabout to see, if possible, vehicles approaching it from the opposite direction (Information-Take). Speed: As you approach the roundabout you begin to brake and lose speed smoothly and progressively (Information-Give).

  • TA 79/99 Amendment No 1 3
    Chapter 3 Volume 5 Section 1 Determination of Urban Road Capacity Part 3 TA 79/99 Amendment No 1 3. DETERMINATION OF URBAN ROAD CAPACITY 3.1 Table 1 sets out the types of Urban Roads and the features that distinguish between them and affect their traffic capacity. Tables 2 & 3 give the flow capacity for each road type described in Table 1. 3.2 Table 4 gives the adjustments when the proportion of heavy vehicles in a one way flow exceeds 15%. A heavy vehicle is defined in this context as OGV1, OGV2 or Buses and Coaches as given in the COBA Manual (DMRB 13.1 Part 4, Chapter 8). 3.3 The flows for road type UM in Table 2 apply to urban motorways where junctions are closely spaced giving weaving lengths of less than 1 kilometre. Urban motorways with layout and junction spacing similar to rural motorways can carry higher flows and TA46/97 “Traffic Flow Ranges for Use in the Assessment of New Rural Roads” will be more applicable. 3.4 Flows for single carriageways are based upon a 60/40 directional split in the flow. The one-way flows shown in Table 2 represent the busiest flow 60% figure. 3.5 The capacities shown apply to gradients of up to 5-6%. Special consideration should be made for steeper gradients, which would reduce capacity. 3.6 On-road parking reduces the effective road width and disrupts flow, e.g. where parking restrictions are not applied on road type UAP2 the flows are likely to be similar to UAP3 where unrestricted parking applies, see Table 1, Similarly effective parking restrictions can lead to higher flows.

  • Dual Carriageways Dual Carriageways – Know the Dangers
    ROAD SAFETY EDUCATION Dual Carriageways Dual carriageways – know the dangers Never confuse a dual carriageway with a motorway. Both may have 2 or 3 lanes, a central reservation and a national speed limit of 70 mph, but that’s as far as the similarity goes. When driving on a dual carriageway there are many dangers you need to be aware of. Know the difference between dual carriageways and motorways Unlike motorways… • Dual carriageways may have variable speed limits; • Dual carriageways usually permit right turns; • Dual carriageways allow traffic to join from the left and cross from left to right; • Cyclists, mopeds, farm vehicles and pedestrians are allowed to use dual carriageways; • Dual carriageways may have Pelican Crossings, traffic lights, roundabouts and Zebra Crossings. 2 Know the speed limits Dual carriageways often have lower or variable speed limits shown by red circular signs. Rule 124 of The Highway Code NI says you MUST NOT exceed the maximum speed limits for the road and for your vehicle. The presence of street lights generally means that there is a 30 mph (48 km/h) speed limit unless otherwise specified. 3 Know your stopping distances (Rule 126) Always drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear. Leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front so that you can pull up safely if it suddenly slows down or stops. Remember - • Never get closer than the overall stopping distance (see typical stopping distances table); • Always allow at least a two-second gap between you and the vehicle Know how to join a in front on roads carrying dual carriageway fast-moving traffic and in tunnels where visibility is reduced; When joining a dual carriageway • The two-second gap rule should obey signs and road markings.
