New measures to improve traffic flow and traffic safety in two-lane off-ramps in Germany (type A2 RAL-K-2)

The paper presents selected results of the research project "Traffic flow in two-lane off-ramps type A 2 of RAL-K-2". The interest of the research project is to analyse traffic flow and traffic safety of two-lane off-ramps type A 2 according to the German guidelines RAL-K-2. To reach the capacity of the off-ramp type A 2, the using rates of both lanes in the off-ramp must be balanced. Therefore new measures and combination of measures, which are focused on the balance of the different usage rates of the right and the left lane, will be analysed. If this succeeds, the capacity and the traffic flow will be influenced in a positive way.
