| Abstract | A Road Diet repositions pavement markings to better meet the needs of all road users. A classic Road Diet converts a four-lane undivided roadway to a three-lane roadway, but there are many other reconfigurations being used by States and locals. For example, a Road Diet could convert the roadway space from five to three lanes, two to three lanes, or vary lane of a three-lane roadway, as shown below. An agency could even use a Road Diet on a one-way street. For design guidance, see Chapter 4 of FHWA’s Road Diet Informational Guide. |
