Abstract
This report is a presentation of results obtained from research studies on diamond interchanges conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute in cooperation with the Texas Highway Department. These studies were conducted in connection with Research Project RP-16, "Ramps and Interchanges," and had the objective of investigating the capacity, design, and operation of conventional-type diamond interchanges. The initial studies were designed to evaluate only the capacity of a conventional-type diamond interchange. The procedure and results of these studies were reported in a paper entitled "Capacity Study of Signalized Diamond Interchanges. " This report was presented at the 40th annual meeting of the Highway Research Board and was distributed to the various districts and offices of the Texas Highway Department. In addition to the capacity studies, there existed a need for additional research to develop data which would serve as criteria in the design and signalization of diamond interchanges. The results of this research are presented as a major portion of this report.
