Determination of highway segments that would need passing lane(s) to improve their operational performance should be accomplished in a two-level process, i.e., Network, and Project level. At the Network Level, two-lane rural highway segments that operate at a level-of-service below a predefined acceptable level are identified. At the Project level, highway segmenets identified at the network level are ranked for the purpose of prioritization. The number of highway segment passing lane projects to be implemented will depend on the funding level. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) level-of-service procedures for rual two-lane highways were used to develop Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) levels at which passing lanes should be considered at the Network level.
