The report presents an estimate of existing (1984) and future (2005) levels of congestion on the Nation's urban freeways based on data contained in FHWA's Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) database. Estimates of congested travel, delay due to recurring congestion, delay due to non-recurring (incident) congestion, and wasted fuel are made on a national basis. Estimates of the aggregate impacts of several techniques for reducing freeway congestion, such as widening, surveillance and control systems, low-cost geometric improvements, and demand reduction strategies are also made.
