Everything But Highway Expansion: Better Data for Faster Congestion Mitigation
The default solution for managing congestion – adding highway and road capacity – is falling out of favor. Research shows that adding lanes ultimately leads to more congestion, and it’s extremely expensive and time-consuming.
In this guidebook, we highlight how transportation planners and engineers can manage congestion with lower-cost and faster-to-implement strategies, such as signal retiming for improved traffic flow and temporary traffic controls for better work zone planning.
We include:
9 strategies for faster congestion diagnosis and remedy
Real-world stories of data-informed strategies used to minimize delays
Examplesof data-drivenvisualizationsthat can win support for proposed improvements
