Due to social, political, environmental, and economic factors, solving urban traffic congestion through freeway construction is not likely. Development of a new arterial street class, called regional arterial, or super street, as a means of increasing urban network capacity and reducing congestion, is a feasible alternative. A long term stated improvement program for an arterial street, Congress Avenue, in Austin, Texas is presented. Based upon anticipated future traffic growth along the IH35 corridor, time lines for Congress Avenue improvements are developed. The effectiveness of the arterial in maintaining desirable travel speeds and diverting freeway traffic is evaluated.
