Configuration, design, and analysis of weaving sections. Paper presented at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Highway Research Board HRB, Washington, D.C., January 1974.

The effect that lane configuration can have on weaving-section operations, specifically, how lane utilization may be substantially controlled by configuration, is discussed and illustrated. Illustration is given through the use of lane-transition matrices to model gross weaving moments under various configurations. It is concluded that the weaving procedure in the Highway Capacity Manual leads to inadequate results because of the failure to differentiate between weaving and non-weaving lane requirements.
