Convert a Type I exit ramp to a Type III exit ramp
Description: Type I is a full width parallel from tangent that leads to either a tangent or flat exiting curve which includes a decelerating taper. The horizontal and vertical alignment of type I exit ramps were based on the selected design speed equal or less than the intersecting roadways. Type III includes two exit lanes while a large percentage of traffic volume on the freeway beyond the painted nose would leave at this particular exit. An auxiliary lane to develop the full capacity of two lane exit was developed for 1500 feet. The entire operations in this type of exit ramps took place over a significant length of the freeway in most cases.
