In Texas, paved shoulders are used by many drivers for a large variety of traffic maneuvers and for satisfying numerous driving task demands. Unfortunately, there is little information as to the types and frequency of this usage and the impacts and conditions under which they occur. The objective of this report is to provide answers to some of these questions. In order to quantify the benefits and/or disbenefits of pave shoulder usage, both operational and safety studies were made on three types of Texas highways--two-lane highways without paved shoulders, two-lane highways with pave shoulders and undivided four-lane highways without paved shoulders. As a result of this investigation, it was recommended that priority for adding shoulders to two-lane highways without them should be given to those highways carrying one-way traffic volumes in excess of 200 vehicles per hour.
