The safety and operations of Texas rural two-lane highways are being affected by increased traffic associated with the energy sector, including the unique characteristics of heavy trucks. Researchers reviewed existing conditions on select rural two-lane highways along with recent literature to develop the following two-page briefing sheets: - Length and Spacing of Super 2 Passing Lanes. - Operational Characteristics of Super 2 Corridors. - Safety Characteristics of Super 2 Corridors. - Signing and Marking on Super 2 Corridors. - Turn Lanes on Rural Highways.
