Percerit of freeway miles congested increased from <br />16.6% (2000) to 19.9% (2002). <br />• The percerrtageof miles congested is increasing (e.g., <br />15%inlpp4to20%May). <br />• The 2002 miles of congestion fall below all targets. <br />• Evolving freeway managemerit goals (ex. reduced ramp <br />wait times) and restrictions (ex. 3 pm start time) make it <br />di(ficuR to assess and/or project the iuture trend. <br />Identifying Congestion <br />• Freeway Speeds S 45 mph <br />• Causes aF Recumng Congestion <br />— Geometric constraints (number of lanes, <br />access points, tunnel, etc.) <br />— Characteristics of roadway (high crash <br />locations, weaving are�s, high volumes, low <br />capaci ty, etc.) <br />ar�i <br />aarm u.�. r-..r..�. � �..y�� <br />� —� �-� <br />X <br />� <br />_ � <br />�� � <br />�.�� <br />�,�� <br />� <br />� <br />�,�� <br />I-35W <br />From Highway 36 North <br />.
