Express lanes are a type of managed lane strategy that use congestion pricing by varying the toll amount to maintain a performance threshold and provide a more reliable travel time. The aim of this study was to develop an analysis methodology to assess the complex or multiple weave segments formed in express lane projects due to the placement of access points. Various scenarios were tested using the Highway Capacity Software (HCS) and VISSIM microsimulation to estimate the capacity of such complex weave segments. The study recommended reporting results from HCS and volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio obtained from microsimulation to estimate the adequate capacity of complex weave segments. This study also found that there is value in dividing the critical segment into merge, basic freeway, and diverge sections for analysis. The speed differential between weaving and non-weaving volumes was found to be minimal, if adequate length was provided and no congestion was observed.
