FREEWAY SYSTEMS, OF THE NEW HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL. CHAPTER 6. FINAL DRAFT
Chapter 3, 4, and 5 of this manual have treated in detail the planning, design, and analysis of basic freeway segments, weaving areas, and ramp junctions respectively. This chapter addresses how these elements may be combined into a complete freeway design or analysis, and a number of special features which may be present and significantly impact operations. Because the many complexities of freeway system operations, these procedures tend to be more approximate and less precise than those applied to specific freeway subsections. They nevertheless provide a basis for insight and understanding of system effects. (Author)
