Abstract:
This Project was initiated to evaluate the concept of Preferential Treatment for High Occupancy Vehicles (PTHOV) at metered ramps. The corridor selected was the Golden State Freeway (I-5) Corridor between Route I-10 and State Route 170 in the Los Angeles area. Included in the study was an analysis of all collected data, (Before, After and Control Section Elements) in determining the effectiveness of the preferential bypass lanes. On 13 of the 47 metered freeway on-ramps, bypass lanes were provided for buses and carpools with two or more occupants.
