Prediction and estimation of speeds on two-lane rural highways are of enormous significance to planners and designers. Estimation of speeds on curves may be easier than prediction of speeds on tangent sections because of the strong correlation of speeds with a few defined and limiting variables, such as curvature, superelevation, and the side-friction coefficients between road surface and tires. On tangent sections, however, the speed of vehicles is dependent on a wide array of roadway characteristics, such as the length of the tangent section, the radius of the curve before and after the section, cross-section elements, vertical alignment, general terrain, and available sight distance. Few studies have dealt with this issue because a considerable database is necessary to identify any significant trends and substantial modeling effort is required. Research analyzed the variability of the operating speeds on 162 tangent sections of two-lane rural highways, and models were developed for prediction of operating speed based on the geometric characteristics available. A one-model approach was used initially. Because of the low R2 values, a family of models was developed that better predicted operating speeds.
