Proposed Practices for the Application of Dynamic Lane Use Control

The objective of this research was to develop recommendations for the application of dynamic lane use control based upon their human factors implications. This research discovered how dynamic lane use control should be interpreted broadly so as to include applications such as reversible lanes, hard shoulder running, dynamic junction control, and toll plazas.
