Identification and Evaluation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Highway Design Features to Reduce Nonrecurrent Congestion

Overview

This report focuses on geometric design treatments that can be used to reduce delays due to nonrecurrent congestion. The report provides a method for incorporating the economic savings due to delay reduction and due to reliability improvement, respectively for specific design treatments during a the asset life cycle of highway infrastructure.

This project also produced a Design Guide for Addressing Nonrecurrent Congestion and an Analysis Tool for Design Treatments to Address Nonrecurrent Congestion.
