Abstract: Abstract Two-lane highways, which have one lane per direction, are unique operationally, since they may allow passing through the use of the opposing traffic stream. According to the US Federal Highway Administration [1], two-lane highway facilities represent about 97 % of the total highway system and for more than 65 % of the total nonurban vehicular travel in the USA. Hence, two-lane highways provide most of the primary interurban highway network as well as being the basis of the secondary highway and collector networks.
