E 342 Interrupted Flow

In urban areas, interrupted flow will occur due to many factors, including the following:

1. Number and geometrics of intersections.
2. Volume of cross-traffic.
3. Lane and street widths.
4. Parking conditions.
5. Percent of truck traffic.
6. Percent of turning vehicles.
7. Bus stops.
8. Pedestrian movements.

Generally, uninterrupted flow capacities are used as a basis or capacity and then modified when interrupted flow conditions prevail.
