With the goal of improving traffic flow and safety on urban freeways, the Texas Department of Transportation initiated a program of installing ramp metering on most freeways in Houston. This research provides advanced methods and strategies for implementing ramp metering called flow signals in Houston, which will enhance motorist compliance with traffic control and reduce police enforcement requirements. This report describes new dual-lane ramp metering strategies recommended for further enhancing freeway traffic operations and driver compliance, and reducing the need for unnecessary or costly advanced enforcement techniques of ramp metering operations. New operational tactics and adaptive detection strategies have been added to advanced multilane metering strategies deployed in the northwestern United States. The design details, both geometric and traffic control, are illustrated for a possible dual-lane demonstration site along the Katy Freeway (IH-10) at Gessner Street in West Houston, Texas
