Title
Managed Motorways Presentation (30 Minutes)
Will Letchworth, WSP
Narrative
At the request of Division 5, Will Letchworth from WSP will make a presentation on Managed Motorways. Managed Motorways is a concept that Secretary Trogdon is encouraging divisions and planning organizations to consider as they look to relieve congestionon urban highways.
The Managed Motorways concept is a collection of strategies and technologies that work in concert to manage freeways and provide enhanced safety, improved reliability, decreased congestion, and traveler information. Managing a freeway can restore one or more lanes of capacity at a fraction of the cost of adding an additional lanes. WSP has performed a high level screening of corridors throughout North Carolina and has identified I-40 from Wade Avenue to NC 54 as a potential corridor that could benefit from the Managed Motorways concept.
