202. Location of Ending Ramp Terminal Relative to Mainline Flow

Definition: Ramps can intersect with the traffic flow of a divided or undivided roadway on either of two sides. This defines the side of the roadway flow intersected by the ramp.

Attributes:

  • Right side with respect to mainline traffic flow at intersecting point.
  • Left side with respect to mainline traffic flow at intersection point.
  • Ramp does not intersect mainline at this point (e.g., ramp intersects another ramp).

See Figure 23 for additional detail.

Priority: Critical

HPMS/Tool Requirements: None

Illustration shows three types of intersection descriptors for the ending of ramps: Right side with respect to mainline traffic flow; Left side with respect to mainline traffic flow; Ramp does not intersect mainline (e.g. ramp intersects another ramp).
