Passing Bays for Slow Moving Vehicles on Rural Two‐lane Roads

摘要: Abstract Slow‐moving vehicles, including agricultural on arterial highways can cause serious delays to other traffic as well posing an extra safety risk. This paper elaborates a small‐scale solution for these problems: the passing bay. It investigates impacts of bay total delay motorized number manoeuvres and hindered mean per vehicle. The latter is also considered be indicator safety. calculations are performed two characteristic trips with slow‐moving effective reducing when two‐way hourly volumes exceed 600–1000 vehicles. effects depend trip length speed vehicle, sight distance limitations road. A 2–4 km between bays seems acceptable compromise reduction vehicles extra...
