This publication results from growing concern about increasing congestion on urban freeways. It provides an overview of proven traffic control techniques for reducing congestion and improving operations that will be of interest to highway administrators, legislators, and other public officials concerned with the management and operation of freeway systems. This synthesis of past and present practices describes operational and safety problems typical to an urban freeway corridor, a range of options for dealing with these problems, and guidelines for implementing and operating freeway control systems. The report is based on previous research, actual experience from operating freeway control systems in various parts of the United States, and numerous interviews with individuals having responsibility for those systems. General guidance is provided for the planning and implementation of freeway control projects at the executive and administrative levels.
