The purpose of this guide is to identify the potential factors that could impact truck use of toll roads and managed lanes. The guide summarizes the trucking and freight industry needs through synthesis of existing literature. Geometric design and roadway operational factors that are important to truck drivers and freight operators were identified for inclusion in new toll road design in hopes of building facilities that are more attractive to those users in terms of safety and efficiency. The factors are organized around facility geometric design characteristics (e.g., horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, cross section, ramp design), operating characteristics (e.g., signing and pavement markings), industry needs (e.g., safety, travel reliability), and corridor operational strategies (e.g., transportation management, intelligent transportation systems).
