The research study determines the effects that a new passing zone's gore design had on traffic characteristics. The new gore design consisted of a painted gore at the beginning of the passing zone which guides the traffic into the right lane, therefore directing the slow-moving vehicles out of the left lane. The projects' three objectives were to determine if the new gore design is more efficient than the old design by allowing more vehicles to pass; reduces illegal and erratic maneuvers and; has any effect on the safety of the roadway.
