“…Watanabe et al (2005) have analyzed the relation between the auxiliary lane length and the difference between the use rate of the inner lane before and after the auxiliary lane; using the observation data from many auxiliary lanes of the climbing lane type. They have found that the difference is from about 3 to 6%, which means we can estimate the use rate of the auxiliary lane at about 3 to 6%.…”

Traffic congestion on motorways on weekends and holidays is not unusual in Japan. To mitigate congestion, installation of an auxiliary lane around the bottleneck in the sag section is used as an alternative and effective countermeasure against congestion to correct overuse of the median lane. However, there are no guidelines on effective installation of an auxiliary lane in the sag section to mitigate motorway traffic congestion. This paper uses a microscopic traffic simulation model to study how best to add an auxiliary lane in the sag section of a dual two-lane motorway to mitigate traffic congestion.
