The report describes the traffic flow and safety problems on two-lane rural roads and identifies, as the result of an extensive literature review, the most significant roadway, traffic, vehicle, driver and environmental parameters affecting overtaking and passing in terms of traffic flow and traffic safety. In addition, alternate general classes of remediation for passing maneuvers which could increase safety and service volume on two-lane rural roads are determined and matched with the most significant parameters.
