This study represents an effort to isolate the causes of congestion on the Sixth Street Freeway in Kansas City and to determine the extent of physical changes in the roadway system necessary for the alleviation of this congestion. Studies of peak period vehicular speeds, traffic volumes, and origin-destination patterns were conducted in an effort to determine the relationships between capacity and demand at critical freeway locations. The freeway was subdivided into subsections in an effort to isolate each known or suspected freeway bottleneck. Conclusions regarding possible modifications to the facility were derived and recommendations made. Results indicated that attempts should first be made to improve vehicular flow by increasing capacity through traffic engineering measures.
