Abstract
This report presents the results of a study of induced traffic on various new highway facilities opened in Texas in recent years. A significant portion of the traffic occurring on some new facilities was identified as induced traffic. Not all locations studied, however, experienced induced traffic. Criteria are developed for evaluating the potential for induced traffic on planned facilities and a procedure is recommended for incorporating an estimate of induced traffic into existing traffic forecasting procedures.
