Briefing Sheets on Safety and Operations of Rural Two-Lane Highways
The safety and operations of Texas rural two-lane highways are being affected by increased traffic associated with the energy sector, including the unique characteristics of heavy trucks. Researchers reviewed existing conditions on select rural two-lane highways along with recent literature to develop the following two-page briefing sheets: (1) Length and Spacing of Super 2 Passing Lanes; (2) Operational Characteristics of Super 2 Corridors; (3) Safety Characteristics of Super 2 Corridors; (4) Signing and Marking on Super 2 Corridors; and (5) Turn Lanes on Rural Highways.
