Traffic flow characteristics were studied on two high density controlled access facilities in Detroit, Mich; average speeds and volumes were recorded on per minute, per lane basis; paper presents traffic volume characteristics, speed characteristics, vehicle headway characteristics, and relationships of fundamental characteristics; it is concluded that traffic volume affects lane usage and that distribution of traffic volume between lanes follows definite pattern.
