Because of the increased volume of traffic, the greater size and weight of trucks, and the higher speeds, serious consideration must be given to the coordination and regulation of the traffic flow. The motor carrier Coninuous Traffic Study makes available certain statistical information which provides reliable estimates of specific operating characteristics for large groups of motor carriers. The data collected provide controls for reporting specific traffic flow characteristics by commodity classification, weight brackets, mileage categories, number of vehicles used, type of rate, etc. The paper is a generalization of the reverse-flow freeway concept in that it suggests some interchange designs which enable ingress and egress directly to and from the atgrade street system rather than with the outside freeway roadways. In addition to preserving the increased capacity of the reversible freeway lanes, this innovation should double or triple the merging capacity at certain interchanges. (Author)
