Survey respondents."The primary objective of this synthesis was to identify practices and devices used for establishing 1L2W traffic control on rural two-lane highways. Specifically, this synthesis sought to identify practices and lessons learned in many areas, including construction versus maintenance activities, day and nighttime operations, length of lane closures, delay and other operational impacts, treatments for side roads and driveways, corridor management of work zones, and innovative devices used to support 1L2W operations"--Page 1.Research sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration

The effect of motorcycle travel on the safety and operations of HOV facilities in Virginia / by Jernigan, Jack D.(CARDINAL)311176; Lynn, Cheryl.(CARDINAL)311173; Virginia.Department of Transportation.(CARDINAL)291718; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 24-25).Final report;The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 mandated that motorcycles be permitted to travel on federally funded high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities unless they created a safety hazard or adversely affected HOV operations. Although motorcycles had previously been banned from traveling on Virginia's HOV lanes, the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) authorized motorcycle travel on HOV facilities in Virginia as of September 21, 1992, for a 2-year trial period. However, out of concern over whether this policy should continue, the CTB resolved that the Virginia Department of Transportation conduct a study to determine whether motorcycles presented a safety risk on HOV lanes. This study found that motorcycles account for as much as 3% of the annual traffic on some HOV lanes. However, in the 2 years after the CTB authorized their travel, there were only five motorcycle crashes on HOV lanes. The study recommends that the CTB allow motorcycles to continue to travel on HOV lanes and that VDOT continue to monitor their travel and crashes.Performed for the Virginia Dept. of Transportation in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration under contract no.
