| 摘要： | The commodity pick-up and delivery activities in urban areas have led to an increase in truck traffic on urban roadways raising safety and operational concerns. A number of strategies for managing trucks have primarily been implemented on interstates highways. The perceived success of truck lane restriction on freeways have led to increasing demands from the public for highway agencies to institute similar measures on non-limited access arterial streets. The review of State statutes, policies, and practices have so far revealed that five States - Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, and New Jersey - have roadway sections on non-limited access highways with truck lane restriction. However, the literature search revealed that the efficacy of truck lane restrictions on non-limited access highways has not been thoroughly studied. The objective of the study was therefore to evaluate the influence of various geometric, traffic, and signalization factors that might affect the effectiveness of truck lane restrictions on non-limited access highways, primarily urban arterial roadways with a significant amount of truck traffic. VISSIM simulation software was used to evaluate operational and safety effects of a truck lane restriction by varying parameters related to the restriction. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2008-107656.
