Abstract:
Passing zones are provided to improve operational efficiency of two-lane highways. Minimum passing zone lengths of 120 m were established by FHWA and AASHTO. Some studies indicate that lengths may need to be increased, but no changes have been recommended, pending further research. The objective of this study was to develop design and marking criteria for minimum passing zone lengths, with traffic operational efficiency and safety taken into consideration. First, a traffic microsimulation was co...     »
