Time/distance to make a lane change? Passing Manuever?
Posted: Tue May 18, 2010 2:35 pm
Q: What is the approximate time/distance for a vehicle to make a lane change?
A: As a part of a FHWA curve study we investigated cross slope design and in particular the effect of cross slope design on passing maneuvers for vehicles and trucks:
"HVOSM Studies of Highway Centerline Crowns", Contract DOT-FH-11-9575, October 1983 J.C. Glennon, T.R. Neuman, B.G. McHenry.
At the time of the research the only research found that directly measured the passing path of vehicles under normal highway operations was in the following:
