THE SUPER TWO

There is an increasing interest in designing two-lane roadways with improved traffic operations features, in response to increasing traffic volumes and reduced funding. Capacity, mobility, and safety for existing two-lane roadways also need to be improved. However, the development of new corridors will continue to be constrained by funding limits and environmental concerns. The era of constructing new roadways with wide medians to handle possible future traffic volumes has ended. A response to these current realities is the concept of the Super Two.
