Adding Lanes to Mexican Roads: Faster Traffic, Safer Journeys!
The article discusses how adding lanes to two-lane roads in Mexico's hilly areas can improve traffic flow and safety. The researchers analyzed traffic conditions and found that vehicles move slower in Mexico compared to other countries. They developed a method to determine if adding lanes is cost-effective and considered reducing accidents. Guidelines were created for where and how to widen road segments, including cross sections and signage. These recommendations were tested on a major road in Mexico.
