What Is Uninterrupted Flow

Abstract. “Uninterrupted flow” describes a type of facility; it is not a description of the quality of flow on a given facility or segment. Specifically, uninterrupted flow exists on any facility where there are no causes of interruption external to the traffic stream.

What is meant by traffic flow?

Traffic Flow is the study of the movement of individual drivers and vehicles between two points and the interactions they make with one another.

What is maximum service flow rate?

Service flow rate E is the value that corresponds to the maximum flow rate, or capacity. Service flows C or D are usually used for most design or planning purposes because these levels of service are more acceptable to roadway users. Note that the flow rate at capacity for a free-flow speed of 70 mph is 2400 pcphpl.
