The Federal Highway Administration estimates that 40 percent of all congestion nationwide can be attributed to recurring congestion— some are mega-problems where traffic demand overwhelms entire interchanges or corridors. These recurring localized bottlenecks are encountered in everyday commutes and are characterized as being relatively predictable in cause, location, time of day, and approximate duration. Innovative transportation agencies have realized that bottleneck removal is low hanging fruit—small projects that can result in big benefits.
