Abstract
The essence of uninterrupted flow facilities is that vehicles can enter and leave the traffic stream without requiring mainline traffic to stop. On freeways and many multilane highways, this is accomplished through on-ramps and off-ramps. Typically, on- and off-ramps consist of one lane, generally located on the right side of the freeway or multilane highway.
