Sub-problem 5a: I-87 Interchange - Merges and Diverges on the Freeway

Northbound Off-Ramp
Exhibit 2-57 shows the performance of the northbound off-ramp under a variety of PM Peak conditions. The volumes are heavier in the PM peak. The second lane makes a difference. The delays with a single lane are more than twice those of the double lane. You can click here to see the datasets. The datasets reflect two lanes. Changing from 2 to 1 will provide the results for a single lane exit.
