Download or read book An Analysis of Safety at the Terminals of Climbing Lanes on Two lane Highways written by Wolfgang S. Homburger and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes an investigation of potentially hazardous conditions at the upper end of climbing lanes on two-lane roads in Northern and Central California. It was postulated that, at such locations, there might be sideswipe accidents involving merging vehicles or head-on collisions of a vehicle swerving across the centerline to avoid such a sideswipe with a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. Accident records covering five years at 21 potentially hazardous locations revealed that there are very few accidents directly related to the merging maneuver. Only 11 accidents at six locations were identified. The report suggests three guidelines for the location and design of climbing lanes to be considered in addition to those found in other literature. However, the general conclusion is that the merging areas at the terminals of climbing lanes on two-lane roads do not present a hazard of major proportions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper 1: A simplified theory of the motion of heavy vehicles on grades is presented. Paper 2: The purpose of this paper is to present a graphical type of analysis that was developed to provide sufficient information within reasonable time and cost limits for the determination of the proper location of climbing-lane termini. Paper 3: Research was conducted by the Arizona Highway Department on the uphill and downhill speed characteristics of heavy trucks on long, steep mountain grades, and the congestion caused by slow-moving vehicles on uphill grades.
