Ramp Management and Control Handbook

This handbook provides guidance and recommended practices on managing and controlling traffic on ramps with freeway facilities. The use or application of the guidance and recommendations provided will in time serve to enhance the use and effectiveness of the ramp management and control strategies. This handbook also describes in greater depth the issues and concepts specific to ramp management and control that were presented in Chapter 7 of the "Freeway Management and Operations Handbook." The "Freeway Management and Operations Handbook" was released by the Federal Highway Administration in September 2003, and has since been updated to summarize the guidance presented in this handbook.
