The study was undertaken to accomplish two objectives pertinent to traffic characteristics at toll plaza areas: (1) to develop a methodology for evaluating the capacity of a toll plaza, and (2) to establish level-of-service criteria for toll area traffic. Traffic data at the four toll plazas of Virginia's Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike were collected using synchronized video cameras. The capacity of a toll booth was found to range from 600 to 750 passenger cars per hour, depending on the type of toll collection. It was concluded that average density can be used as a criterion for defining levels of service for toll plaza areas. Average densities of the toll plaza areas were also found to be highly correlated to v/c ratios. Simulation techniques were also employed. As a result of the study, it was recommended that the density criterion be utilized for defining levels of service at toll plaza areas.
