This report contains three major elements (1) an inventory of urban freeways contained in the 20 most populous Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States; (2) truck problems and management strategies as they relate to urban freeways; and (3) empirically-derived distributions of urban freeway traffic characteristics. Source material used for compilation of the inventory and truck-problem sections was restricted to existing published reports. The inventory details both physical and operating characteristics (e.g. lane, shoulder, and right-of-way widths; percent trucks during peak, etc.) in statistical summaries. Truck problems (i.e. capacity reduction, off-tracking, etc.) and management strategies (e.g. lane-use restrictions, etc.) are discussed.
