The two-way, two-lane drawbridges at Cambridge, Maryland and Vienna, Maryland, on US 50 form two critical bottlenecks for the flow of recreational traffic during the summer weekends. Four traffic management alternatives were analyzed to determine their relative effectiveness to reduce congestion formed by these bottlenecks. It was found that many motorists are familiar with other routes to the resort areas, are willing to use alternate routes to avoid expected delays, and are willing to change their trip departure to save driving time. By diverting a small fraction of traffic to another route and/or other departure times, total system operating costs, congestion and overall travel time can be substantially reduced. Consequently, both route diversion and time diversion strategies can provide significant improvements in system performance and user service.
