Austroads: Transport Research and Trends

This webinar provides an overview of the benefits associated with passing lanes for guidance for practitioners.

It covers:

• safety impacts of passing lanes, particularly statistics on crash rate reductions, speed and headway, and overtaking behaviour
• operational impacts of passing lanes on average speed and per cent time spent following (PTSF)
• road user perception of passing lane impacts and valuation of level-of-service (LOS)
• findings of the Austroads project.

The webinar was presented on 5 March 2019 by Dr Ian Espada and Dr Chris Stokes.
