Evaluation of new passing zone gore design
TM Batz - Transportation research record, 1989 - safetylit.org
The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of a new passing zone gore
design on traffic characteristics. The new design was a painted gore at the beginning of the
passing zone to guide the traffic into the right lane, thereby directing the slow-moving
vehicles out of the left lane. The project was to determine whether the new gore design is
more efficient than the old design because it allows more vehicles to pass and reduces
illegal and erratic maneuvers and whether it has any effect on the safety of the roadway. The …

Evaluation of a New Passing Zone Gore Design. Final Report
TM Batz - 1988 - trid.trb.org
The purpose of this research study was to determine the effects that a new passing zone's
gore design had on traffic characteristics. The new gore design consisted of a painted gore
at the beginning of the passing zone which guides the traffic into the right lane, therefore
directing the slow-moving vehicles out of the left lane. The project's three objectives were to
determine if the new gore design: is more efficient than the old design by allowing more
vehicles to pass; reduces illegal and erratic maneuvers; and has any effect on the safety of …
