Traffic incidents on Texas' urban highways are becoming an increasing source of delay, congestion, safety problems, and poor air quality. An effective incident management program can significantly reduce the effects of incidents on freeways. Many incident management strategies are dependent upon some aspect of geometric design. Providing freeway features such as emergency crossovers, median barrier gates, or refuge areas may enable emergency personnel to respond to the incident in a more safe and timely manner.
