Abstract

An investigation of potentially hazardous conditions at the upper end of climbing lanes on two-lane roads in Northern and Central California is summarized. The report suggests three guidelines for the location and design of climbing lanes to be considered in addition to those found in the literature. However, the general conclusion is that the merging areas at the terminals 99 climbing lanes do not present a hazard of major proportions.
