TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 687: Guidelines for Ramp and Interchange Spacing explores guidelines for ramp and interchange spacing based on design, operations, safety, and signing considerations. The report is designed to help aid the decision-making process when an agency is considering new ramps or interchanges on existing facilities, modifying ramps and interchanges of existing facilities, or when planning and designing new highway and interchange facilities. The guidelines also offer standardized definitions measuring ramp and interchange spacing, which have varied in previous design guides. A final report documenting the full research effort related to the development of NCHRP Report 687 was published as NCHRP Web-Only Document 169--
Determining Guidelines for Ramp and Interchange Spacing
This project considered the effects of geometry, traffic operations, safety, signing, and other factors to develop guidelines for understanding the considerations that influence minimum ramp and interchange spacing values. Phase I included conducting a literature search and other information gathering activities, developing a work plan to assess the impact of ramp spacing on traffic operations and safety, and developing a framework for the research guidelines. Phase II included creating microscopic simulation models of closely-spaced ramp combinations calibrated with field data, constructing a crash database and developing crash prediction models, developing a set of guidelines for ramp and interchange spacing, and recommending changes to major resource documents within the transportation profession. As a final product, the team wrote NCHRP Report 687, "Guidelines for Ramp and Interchange Spacing," to assist users as they consider new or modified ramps and interchanges.
