摘要: The primary objective of this research project was to develop a set of guidelines to assist in the selection of candidate roadways for urban four-lane undivided to three-lane cross section conversions. The authors evaluated and assessed the physical, operational, and safety characteristics that appear to be compatible with the consideration and/or feasibility of this type of conversion. These characteristics were evaluated qualitatively, with simulation software, and through an interpretation of subjective and objective before-and-after study results from four-lane undivided to three-lane conversions throughout the United States and Iowa. Some of the roadway characteristics investigated were roadway function and environment, overall traffic volume and level of service, turning volumes and patterns, weaving/speed/queues, crash types and patterns, pedestrian and bicycle activity, right-of-way availability/cost/acquisition, and several other general characteristics (e.g., parallel parking).
